At Fox News, William Mears reports that Trump’s list has narrowed to two candidates, Judge Neil Gorsuch and Judge Thomas Hardiman, and that although “the president has privately kept one person in mind for some time,” “supporters of several candidates continue to solicit White House officials, knowing last minute change-of-hearts can and do happen.” In The Washington Post, Robert Barnes reports that “those who know Gorsuch and have studied his decade of solidly conservative opinions on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit say he more resembles the man he would replace — the late Justice Antonin Scalia — than the more moderate Kennedy.” Also in The Washington Post, Kimberly Kindy reports that Judge William Pryor, another name on the shortlist, “is perhaps the most polarizing figure of the potential nominees, with some groups thinking he leans too far right while other groups view him as leaning too far left.” In The National Law Journal (subscription or registration required), Tony Mauro and Marcia Coyle report that Gorsuch, Hardiman and Pryor all “appear to qualify as millionaires, according to their most recent financial disclosure forms.”
