Judge Amy Coney Barrett has emerged as Trump's overwhelming favorite to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, according to several people who say the President's view was solidified during a lengthy meeting at the White House.
Trump has not finalized his decision, and with days to go until he announces his pick on Saturday, his thinking could change. But for now, Barrett -- currently sitting on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago -- is his clear front-runner and is viewed inside the White House as the likely nominee.The President announced Tuesday morning that he will announce the pick Saturday at the White House.
But the President is also keen on extending the dramatics of his selection, likening it to his version of a running mate selection during an election year, according to one adviser.Trump plans to make his announcement during a prominent prime time address, as he did for Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh earlier in his term, according to the adviser.
