WASHINGTON — At a campaign rally Saturday in North Carolina, President Donald Trump left no doubt about the gender of his forthcoming choice for the Supreme Court: "It will be a woman."
Supporters in Fayetteville chanted, "Fill that seat." Trump said he did not have a nominee yet but would make his choice "next week."
Amy Coney Barrett, a federal appellate court judge, has emerged as one of the front-runners to fill the seat left vacant by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, three sources told NBC News.
