Trump Could Have Two More Supreme Court Picks
The effort includes $15 million more if Trump names replacements for Justices Clarence Thomas or Samuel Alito, organizers said.
- Demand Justice launched a $3 million campaign to oppose potential Supreme Court nominees from President Donald Trump before any vacancies occur.
- Growing concerns exist that Trump could replace Justice Clarence Thomas, age 77, and Justice Samuel Alito, age 76, potentially cementing a 5-4 Trump-aligned majority.
- Josh Orton, president of Demand Justice, said the effort avoids miscalculations like Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's failure to retire during the Obama presidency.
- The campaign will cost an additional $15 million if vacancies occur and Trump nominates successors. Ezra Levin, co-executive director of Indivisible, framed it as a "defining political battle."
- Senate control is critical; flipping four Republican-held seats could alter confirmation odds, though Trump could still push nominations through before any Democratic administration takes over.
