Trump Nominates Brett Kavanaugh to Replace Anthony Kennedy on Supreme Court
Donald Trump nominated appeals court judge Brett Kavanaugh Monday to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by outgoing justice Anthony Kennedy.
In his second SCOTUS-related made-for-TV moment since becoming president, Trump unveiled his choice at 9 p.m. ET, teasing the primetime event during the weekend and Monday morning. Though moments before the big reveal, media outlets began to report that Trump had picked Kavanaugh after he was seen leaving the nearby D.C. Circuit accompanied by security detail.
