Trump nominates Brett Kavanaugh to replace the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court
President Donald Trump has nominated Brett Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court, to replace the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy.
Trump revealed his pick Monday night, fewer than two weeks after Kennedy announced his retirement from the bench.
Kavanaugh is Trump’s second nominee to the high court in the nearly 18 months since he took office. Justice Neil Gorsuch, his first nominee, was confirmed in April 2017.
Confirmation proceedings await Kavanaugh next, and conservatives are already going all-in to usher him across the finish line.
