Trump adds Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz to list of potential Supreme Court justices
Alayna Treene
President Trump unveiled Wednesday his revamped list of potential Supreme Court justices that includes 20 new names, including Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) .
Why it matters: Top aides and advisers to the president urged him months ago to put together a new list of justices ahead of Election Day to pump up his base and remind them why a Republican needs to remain in the White House.
Other notable new additions to the list include Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron.
The idea for the revised list took on increased urgency after the court ruled on two major cases in June — one prohibiting discrimination on the basis of gender identity, and another determining the Trump administration violated federal law in how it tried to end the Obama-era DACA program.

What they're saying: Cotton said in a statement that he was "honored" by the selection.
