[SKY NEWS aired the following Saturday.]
The now vacant US Supreme Court seat is expected to be one of the most critical issues in the upcoming November election, but there’s been no word from “Sleepy Joe,” according to Sky News host James Morrow. Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court Ruth Bader Ginsburg died over the weekend aged 87 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. President Donald Trump praised the progressive icon upon hearing the news of her death after a campaign rally. The vacant seat is set to become a massive political battle, as the President has already indicated he intends to nominate a replacement merely six weeks before the election. Mr Morrow said the Democrats are performing poorly on this burgeoning issue highlighted by the contrast in reactions by the two candidates. “We haven’t heard anything from Sleepy Joe,” he said. “While Trump is out their giving rallies and talking about this, the day after RBG (Ruth Bader Ginsburg) dies … Biden was having the day off. “They’ve got a candidate who can’t do a full day’s campaigning when they’ve got this huge issue that they’re about to have a big fight on.”
