GILFORD — To chants of “Fill that seat,” Vice President Mike Pence assured supporters that Saturday, President Donald Trump will nominate a conservative woman to fill the seat on the U.S. Supreme Court left vacant by feminist pioneer Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last Friday.
Addressing supporters at Laconia Municipal Airport, Pence said Tuesday that Trump will draw from a list he has, “and we will fill that seat.”
