US politicians are struggling over the successor of Justice Ginsburg, who recently passed away.

President Trump said he would nominate a replacement right away, and the opposition party shouted to stop the association, suggesting the possibility of impeachment of the president.



Washington Correspondent Yunsoo Kim tells us that this issue is even more acute in line with the November presidential election.



<Reporter> The



day after the death of US Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg, President Trump immediately mentioned his successor.



[Trump/US President: I will nominate a new Supreme Court candidate next week.

The candidate will be a woman.]



Democratic presidential candidate Biden has accused the short-term president of appointing a lifetime Supreme Court as an unfair exercise of power.



If he was elected, he went on to take down a candidate nominated by President Trump.



[Biden/US Democratic Presidential Candidate: If I am elected, President Trump's nomination will have to be withdrawn.

It is my job to appoint a successor to Justice Ginsburg.]



When asked about the possibility of impeachment to prevent President Trump's nomination of Supreme Court Justice, House Speaker Pelosi said, "There is an arrow in the arrowbox that is not immediately discussed." I hit it.



The reason why the ruling and opposition parties are facing such strong confrontation over the election of the Supreme Court Justice is because we cannot rule out the possibility that the results of the November presidential election will be covered by the Supreme Court.



In the 2000 presidential election, the Supreme Court stopped recounting the state of Florida and confirmed the election of then Republican Bush.



After the president's nomination as Supreme Court, the Senate needs to be ratified, but the situation is becoming more complicated as some of the ruling Republican senators are showing signs of departure.
