How Ginsburg's death could reshape the U.S. presidential campaign

For months, the contest has largely centred on President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus, the biggest public health crisis in a century that has badly damaged his prospects for reelection as the U.S. death toll nears 200,000 people.

Facing the prospect of losing both the White House and the Senate, some Republicans viewed the Supreme Court vacancy as one of the few avenues remaining for Trump to galvanize supporters beyond his most loyal core of supporters, particularly suburban women who have abandoned the GOP in recent years. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., pledged to quickly bring to a vote whomever Trump nominates. But he faces potential division within his own ranks, including from Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine and Cory Gardner of Colorado. Collins and Gardner are in particularly tight races for reelection this fall.

Biden, who has already pledged to appoint the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, told reporters late Friday that "voters should pick the president and the president should pick the justice to consider." Trump took the unprecedented step in 2016 of releasing a list of Supreme Court picks before he was elected, a move that was credited with unifying skeptical conservative voters to unite behind him. Republicans also believe that the high-profile debate over Trump's last Supreme Court pick, Brett Kavanaugh, helped the GOP retain the Senate during the 2018 midterms, when the party lost control of the House.

How stupid is CTV News with a comment like this? As moronic as the left have been during the last months nobody will give a dam what they think. Bret Kavanaugh was treated like hell during the last confirmation by the Left so why would anybody care? War is what the left want.

If there is Karma, RBG's next life will be a short one -- in the womb of a black woman sitting in a Planned Parenthood clinic.

Courageous, Unstoppable, Never gave up, Tremendous woman.

Hillary Clinton 2016 on the death of Anthony Scalia - 'Elections have consequences,' she said. 'The president has a responsibility to nominate a new justice and the Senate has has a responsibility to vote.'

Seems like Chuck Schumer will want to get this vote for a new Justice done right away before the election !!

How utterly profound of CTV to think they actually are relevant. The Liberal crap just goes on and on and on and on!

I'm sure you'd be thrilled that both parties are using her death as a way to push forward their own separate agendas.

A former Canadian PM died. It's amazing Ginsburg is getting more headlines in Canada. I mean, how odd are you?

How?

Courageous, Unstoppable, Never gave up, Tremendous woman.

Who's going to stand against those ever-present, evil White Supremacists now?

Could? hahha It's already reshaped. Get your popcorn because this is going to be f*cking awesome!

You mean reshape the US for a generation. Rights of women, the environment, LGTBQ, workers, elections will all be eroded to serve the power hungry minority. The US is quickly becoming a banana republic.

It is incredible to me that Canada is in shambles looking more like a communist country every day and ctv is STILL reporting on the US election ..... why is that?

Ding dong the witch is dead 🤣

Ding dong

Its not reshaping anything. Trump has put his list out in 2016 and again just last week. SlowJoe is still behind the 8 ball. The Left has threatened more violence like they have all year if he nominates. That only shores up Trump's reelection. VoteRed2020 Trump2020Landslide

PANIC

The left is already threatening riots if Trump fills the seat. And not just the lunatic fringes of the left. Blue checks on Twitter, CNN talking heads, and even a Canadian university prof. Canadian media should look into this guy: EmmMacfarlane UWaterloo

COVID-19 task force worries Trump's rush to approve vaccine will spook CanadiansMembers of the federal government's COVID-19 vaccine task force are casting worried eyes at the Trump administration's political push to get a vaccine approved before the U.S. presidential election in November. What spooks Canadians is Trudeau's incompetence on dealing with COVID anything! Over 6 months into this pandemic & Canada still has no rapid testing choices, who knew a graphic arts degree Minister couldn't figure it out. But life goes on in Canada while the PM hides... The fake news is triggered. Interesting to watch the insane reactions to RGB passing away. Well ,here is a question... would you trust anything that he has his hands in? Can you/ would you believe anything he says.... I would trust him to even take it...
