She’s an excellent choice and really one of the best choices I’ve seen for the Supreme Court during my time in public service."
President Trump’s recovery from COVID-19:“Look the good news today is the President is strong, he’s doing well. He’s up and around his room. He’s making decisions, he’s signing things he needs to sign, and let’s get on with it. We’ve got a country to run, and I’m glad to see him in charge."
