Trump's Re-election Could Cement Conservative Supreme Court Majority

With a Republican Senate, Trump may solidify his influence on the judiciary by appointing more conservative justices.

President-elect Donald Trump has the opportunity to further entrench a conservative majority in the Supreme Court during his second term.
Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, both in their 70s, might retire soon, allowing Trump to appoint their successors.
Trump's previous appointments—Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett—have already shifted the Court's ideological balance to the right.
The Republican-controlled Senate is expected to facilitate swift confirmation of any new Trump nominees.
Speculation surrounds potential retirements and replacements, with names like James Ho and Kyle Duncan being considered as future appointees.
