President Donald Trump said Tuesday morning that he plans to announce his nominee to fill the empty seat on the Supreme Court next week.

“I’ll be making my decision this week, we’ll be announcing next week,” Trump said, responding to a reporter’s question during a pool spray as he signed executive orders in the Oval Office. “We have outstanding candidates and we will pick a truly great Supreme Court justice.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) vowed earlier in the month that Senate Democrats are “not going to make it easy” for Trump to select a nominee.

“If they don’t appoint someone who’s really good, we’re gonna oppose him tooth and nail,” he said.
