President Joe Biden has suggested he will appoint progressive justices to the Supreme Court if he wins a second term in the White House in November.

"The next president, they're going to be able to appoint a couple of justices... Look, if in fact we're able to change some of the justices when they retire and put in really progressive judges like we've always had, tell me that won't change your life," he said during a campaign rally in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

If she retired earlier, then Mitch would have just blocked her replacement. Unless you mean like early early, like Obama's first term. I don't really remember hearing calls for her to resign until after Mitch showed his plan as ”the party of no."
