Conservatives hold a 5-4 majority on the Supreme Court. Exit polling in 2016 showed that Trump won among voters who considered the Supreme Court a top issue. ADADBiden made his own unusual announcement regarding the Supreme Court earlier this year, saying he would nominate the first Black woman should a vacancy occur. Cameron, the Kentucky attorney general, is Black, and Lagoa was the first Latina appointed to the Florida Supreme Court. The list drew predictable criticism from liberal advocacy groups, warning that a second Trump term would put a conservative stamp on the Supreme Court for decades.
