According to CBS, we have four top candidates now that Trump intends to interview for the high court:
- Amy Coney Barrett
- Raymond Kethledge
- Brett Kavanaugh
- Amul Thapar
In case you’re wondering, that’s the order in the image above from left to right.
Here’s the tweets from CBS reporter Jan Crawford confirming this:

Sources say the more recently confirmed federal appeals court Judge Amy Coney Barrett is also under consideration to be among the 3-5 the President will interview for #scotus.

Notice she says Trump intends to interview 3-5, so there could be another on this list that we haven’t heard about.
Perhaps Justice Don Willet?
