On Saturday, President Trump announced his nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to fill Justice Ginsburg's Supreme Court seat. Barrett's nomination is an attempt to win over undecided women voters in the election, some analysts say. And it could backfire.https://19thnews.org/2020/09/trumps-amy-coney-barrett-supreme-court/?utm_campaign=19th-social&utm_content=on_saturday%2C_president_tr&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter …
2/ If confirmed, Amy Coney Barrett, 48, would be the youngest woman to become a Supreme Court justice. The mother of seven children, aged 8 to 19, would also be the first mom on the court to have school-aged children.https://bit.ly/3mYJjF4
3/ Trump made his pick of Barrett official during an event at the Rose Garden. In her remarks, Barrett said she would be "mindful" of who came before her, and praised Justice Ginsburg for her long legal career.https://bit.ly/3mYJjF4
4/ Since Ginsburg's death, Trump said he would pick a woman to fill the court vacancy. On the surface, the president's emphasis on picking a woman appeared to be an abrupt about-face from conventional Republican wisdom.https://bit.ly/3mYJjF4
5/ Last month at the Republican National Convention, party chair Ronna McDaniel said that she was picked for her role not because of her identity, but "because I was the best person for the job."https://bit.ly/3mYJjF4
6/ But the shift, political analysts told The 19th, appears to have less to do with a newfound interest in gender equity in politics and much more, they said, with an attempt to win over undecided or Trump-averse women voters in the upcoming election.https://bit.ly/3mYJjF4
7/ Before Ginsburg's death, Trump's shortlist of Supreme Court nominees had 44 candidates — only 12 were women. The explicit commitment to choosing a woman only emerged when Ginsburg's death gave Trump the ability to nominate someone before the election.https://bit.ly/3mYJjF4
8/8 Polls show that the majority of voters, including women, would prefer to have the court vacancy filled by whoever wins the election. "If some of this is to try to appeal to women who weren't voting for him [Trump], I’m not sure what group that is," one analyst said.
