Democratic opponents, led by presidential candidate Joe Biden, have demanded that Republicans back off on replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

US President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport on September 25, 2020 in Newport News, Virginia.WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump is set to unveil his Supreme Court nominee on Saturday, barely five weeks out from the November 3 presidential election, with US media reporting that he has chosen conservative judge Amy Coney Barrett for the job.

"We are going to be announcing somebody great," the US president said in Virginia on a whirlwind three-state campaign tour Friday.The president did not name his nominee but earlier said his decision was made. Barrett was"outstanding," he said. The left-leaning government watchdog group Accountable US was unimpressed with the reported choice."Barrett has proven time and again that protecting businesses -- not people -- is her top priority," said group president Kyle Herrig.

"I did more for the black community in 47 months... than Joe Biden did in 47 years," he said, repeatedly swiping at Biden's legislative record in co-sponsoring 1990s tough-on-crime legislation that many experts say resulted in high incarceration rates for black Americans.Biden himself did no in-person campaigning Friday but traveled from his home in Delaware to Washington for a ceremony in the US Capitol, where Ginsburg lay in state -- the first woman and Jewish person to do so.
