"We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us, the most important of which has long been considered to be the election of United States Supreme Court Justices. We have this obligation, without delay!" Trump tweeted on Saturday morning, tagging the Twitter account associated with the GOP Party.
On Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican, said he is planning to allow the Senate tothrough an upcoming floor vote, despite blocking the same proceeding after Justice Antonin Scalia's death in 2016.

Crowds gather outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., to honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg on September 19, one day after her passing. President Donald Trump said he plans to nominate a replacement to fill Ginsburg's Supreme Court seat promptly."The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice," SchumerNewsweek
