Trump Predicts the Supreme Court Will Decide The Election

Over the weekend, in the aftermath of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, based on the planetary transits it is likely the “worst-case scenario” for markets – a contested election – had become even more complicated as it now appeared that the US was heading into the most controversial election since Gore vs Bush with a SCOTUS that could end up deadlocked with a 4-4 vote should the election outcome escalate to the Supreme Court.

However, it appears that the president agrees this is most probable because moments ago President Trump also predicted that the U.S. Supreme Court will decide the outcome of the November election and argued the Senate should confirm his nominee – who we already know will be a conservative woman – to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG) to break any tie.

Trump said that “I think this will end up in the Supreme Court and I think it’s very important to have nine justices.”

Speaking before reporters at the White House, he continued, claiming that “this scam that the Democrats are pulling, it’s a scam, and this scam will be before the United States Supreme Court,”

Trump plans on Saturday to announce a nominee to replace Ginsburg at 5:00 pm EDT at the White House.

Lawyers representing Trump’s campaign are challenging mail-in voting rules in a host of states, as a result of Trump’s claims that mail-in voting is more susceptible to fraud than in-person voting on Election Day.

There is a growing probability that the first major test of the new post-RBG iteration of the Supreme Court, which will soon have a 6-3 conservative majority, the GOP is planning to ask SCOTUS to review a major Pennsylvania state court decision that extended the due date for mail-in ballots in a critical battleground state.
