President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he would fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court should the opportunity present itself before the election.

“Absolutely, I’d do it,” Trump said on a radio interview on the Hugh Hewitt Show, when asked whether he would make a nomination to fill a vacancy on the nation’s top court during the last five months of his term.
