Trump predicts Supreme Court will decide outcome of election as he pushes quick confirmation

President Trump on Wednesday predicted the U.S. Supreme Court may decide the outcome of November's presidential election, highlighting the importance he's put on the Senate quickly confirming his eventual nominee.

In order to prevent a four-four split on a potential election-related issue, Trump suggested during a roundtable event that lawmakers should take swift action on his candidate, who is expected to be announced on Saturday.

“I think this will end up in the Supreme Court,” Trump told reporters. “And I think it's very important that we have nine justices.”
