Trump Says He Will Announce Supreme Court Pick on July 9

BEDMINSTER, N.J. — President Trump said Friday that he plans to announce his pick to replace Justice Anthony M. Kennedy on July 9, quickly kicking off a confirmation battle that the White House and Senate Republicans hope to finish by early fall.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew to his Bedminster, N.J., golf resort for the weekend, Mr. Trump said that he has narrowed down his Supreme Court candidates to “about five people,” including two women. He later said he would “probably interview six or seven altogether.”
