DeSantis suggests next President could shape '7-2 conservative majority' on Supreme Court
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) suggested the next president could nominate two new justices to the Supreme Court to solidify its conservative majority.
DeSantis gave remarks at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention on Monday, outlining that the next president could shape a conservative majority on the Supreme Court over the next two terms. DeSantis is expected to announce his bid for the White House this week, which would make him the latest Republican to challenge former President Trump.
“But I think if you look over, you know, the next two presidential terms, there is a good chance that you could be called upon to seek replacements for Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito,” he said. “And the issue with that is you can’t really do better than those two. They are the gold standard for jurisprudence.”
DeSantis also blasted some of the Court’s conservative justices on the bench, saying “if you replace a Clarence Thomas with somebody like a Roberts or somebody like that, then you’re gonna actually see the court move to the left, and you can’t do that.”
