Supreme Court watchers and political experts look at the implications of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death for the election, the Supreme Court and the country.
The Trump White House was already laying the groundwork for putting a third justice on the court when Justice Ginsburg's death was announced Friday.
The president has an opportunity to shift the court even further to the right as it prepares to hear cases on abortion and health care.
Former Vice President Joe Biden said Republicans should follow their own precedent and wait until after the election.
What stances are Republican senators from the Carolinas taking, particularly those facing tough reelections? How will voters respond?
