9,529 views

Can Trump get another Supreme Court justice before the election?

The answer appears to be "YES," according to Ted Cruz!

The Senate likely has 51 votes to confirm whoever Trump nominates, Cruz told ABC's Stephanopoulos.

Only 51 votes is needed since the Democrats changed the rules a few years ago.

In the event of a tie, Vice President Mike Pence would make the deciding vote.

See Cruz's interview with George Stephanopoulos below:
