Trump will select a replacement. 100% Guaranteed [View all]

they will wait till after the election though.

If he wins, they will make it look like a normal process.

If he loses, they will ram it in before the next Senate is seated.

If Dems don't win the Senate, it'll be 9 to 3 for another 4.

If the Dems win the Senate, and Trump loses, the SC will be packed during Bidens Term. And then again during Bidens successors term. And again after Bidens successors successors term.

This is a bad situation, with bad or worse outcomes. No good ones.
