'Abuse of power': Biden hits out at Trump move to replace Ginsburg ahead of election
Democrat challenger Joe Biden has accused president Donald Trump of abusing his power over plans to replace the late Supreme Court Justice and liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburgh - who died on Friday aged 87 - before the upcoming US election.
Just 24 hours after Ginsburg passed away, the president released a statement outlining his intention to find a replacement ahead of November's poll, a move that has enraged Democrats and threatens to reshape the highest court in the land for a generation.
Mr Trump, backed by Republicans, said he plans to appoint a female conservative justice, which would decisively tilt the ideological balance of power in the Supreme Court. As things stand, there are five Republican Supreme Court Justices and four alinged with the Democrats.
Speaking at an event in Philadelphia on Sunday, Mr Biden said the president's decision to press ahead with replacing Ginsburg was an abuse of executive power, adding that voters voices "should be heard" before any appointment is made.
