Ginsburg’s death comes even closer to the 2020 election — 46 days away. In all of American history, we have had only two Supreme Court vacancies closer to Election Day than we have now. In both instances, the incumbent president won reelection and nominated a replacement shortly after Election Day. (In terms of the actual confirmation, one was confirmed in December, one in March.) So by historical standards — and, notably, McConnell’s own previous standard — Trump would not nominate anyone unless he won a second term in November, since the election is less than two months away.
Mind you the Democrats are targeting the filibuster. Literally a god send to Trump now with 3 SCOTUS picks in just 1 term, more than any other president I think. Some are saying he'll repeal Roe v Wade once this pick is finalized.
