President Donald Trump released a new list of potential Supreme Court nominees on Friday, updating a previous roster that included newly appointed Justice Neil Gorsuch.
The refreshed shortlist removes Gorsuch and adds Judges Amy Coney Barrett, Britt Grant, Brett Kavanaugh, Kevin Newsom and Patrick Wyrick.
For many Republicans, Trump fulfilled one of his key campaign promises to replace the late Antonin Scalia with a similar conservative judge when he nominated Gorsuch in January as one of his first major presidential acts.
In a statement, the White House said, “President Trump will choose a nominee for a future Supreme Court vacancy, should one arise, from this updated list of 25 individuals.”
