President Donald Trump’s two top finalists for the U.S. Supreme Court were summoned to Washington ahead of his prime-time announcement that will set up a confirmation showdown with Senate Democrats.
Trump is expected to select one of two federal appeals court judges, either Neil Gorsuch of Denver or Thomas Hardiman of Pittsburgh, and each was asked to go to Washington on Tuesday, according to people familiar with the president’s decision process. Trump says he will announce his choice at 8 p.m. Washington time.
