Show Notes

The Supreme Court is always an issue in presidential elections. But the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg just weeks away from election day has changed the stakes, and the political landscape.

On Today's Show:
Since Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death late last week, Republicans have vowed to push through her replacement before the election. Sabrina Siddiqui, national politics reporter at The Wall Street Journal and political analyst at CNN, talks about the Republicans who won't go along with it, whether it's enough to prevent it from going through and what the Democrats and Joe Biden may do if they win the presidency and the Senate in November.
