“As a nation we should heed her final call to us,” Joe Biden says, citing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying words, as relayed by her granddaughter, that her “most fervent wish” is that she “not be replaced until a new president is installed.”
"We will uphold equal justice under the law for citizens of every race, color, religion and creed. I will be putting forth a nominee next week. It will be a woman," Trump said at a rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on Saturday evening.Biden's campaign has signaled that they will make a major push to put defending the Affordable Care Act at the forefront of voters' minds.
According to a Biden campaign spokesperson, the former vice president's team believes that Ginsburg's death will"energize" voters that are"frustrated" by President Trump and Republicans attempts to invalidate the law."Make no mistake: the fight to preserve protections for preexisting conditions is on the ballot. And that case will be heard before the Supreme Court a week after the election and a decision is expected in June of 2021," the Biden campaign said.
The campaign believes this is a"fight that's good for Democrats," and will motivate them to turn out for Biden and Harris, especially given the fact that the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a major case involving the ACA the week following the 2020 election.
