Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney issued a statement Tuesday say that he will support moving forward on voting to fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat on the Supreme Court ahead of the 2020 election. Some thought Romney, who voted to convict President Trump on impeachment charges, might break from the GOP again.
Romney's statement read "My decision regarding a Supreme Court nomination...is based on the immutable fairness of following the law, which in this case is the Constitution and precedent."
Romney's decision seems to all but ensure that President Trump will have the backing to push his nomination before the election. The President said he would announce his choice on Saturday.
