Will Trump react on live TV to Ginsberg’s death?
Trump is currently speaking to a campaign rally in Minnesota, and has been speaking since just before the news of Ginsberg’s death was made public just minutes ago. It’s not clear what the president might know or not know about Ginsberg’s death, or whether he might react to the news of Ginsberg’s death in real time, while on live television.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg, a beloved justice and a crucial liberal vote on the Supreme Court, died this evening from complications of pancreatic cancer, the Supreme Court just announced in a news release. She was 87 years old.
National Public Radio reports that one of Ginsberg’s final messages was a statement dictated to her granddaughter: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”
