According to reports, Trump and Republicans regard the confirmation of Barrett's nomination as an event that can promote conservative support for the president; however, Democrats also believe that the event can increase voters for him.
Prior to this, the White House presided over the swearing-in ceremony of justices for Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
However, the continued spread of the new crown epidemic has raised questions about the safety of such gatherings.
On the morning of the 26th local time, White House Chief of Staff Meadows said that the White House will encourage social distancing during this event and will hold the ceremony outdoors.
"Tonight we will try our best to encourage people to maintain social distancing as much as possible. If the (ceremony) is carried out as planned now, it will be held outdoors." Meadows said.
According to reports, Trump pointed out in Pennsylvania that this event will not be a "large event" but "a very good event."
Earlier, Trump nominated Barrett to fill the vacancy just a week after the death of liberal Justice Ruth Bud Ginsberg.
Although Democrats and individual Republicans opposed the pre-election confirmation vote, the Senate moved quickly to promote Barrett's nomination process.
Barrett, 48, is considered a conservative judge.
She was nominated by Trump to serve as a judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in 2017. Prior to that, she was a professor of law at the University of Notre Dame.
Barrett has publicly opposed the "Obama Health Insurance Plan", abortion, etc., and is also conservative on issues such as immigration and gun control.
