The two most frequently talked about names are Amy Coney Barrett, 48, of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, and Barbara Lagoa, 52, of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit.

Allison Jones Rushing, 38, of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, also is often mentioned, including by Trump during a “Fox & Friends” interview early Monday.

Barrett, of Indiana, clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in 2016. She was part of the legal term that represented George W. Bush in the Bush v. Gore case in which the Supreme Court decided the contested 2000 election. …

Lagoa previously was a justice on the Supreme Court of Florida and an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. She received her law degree from Columbia University. …

Rushing, of North Carolina, clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas and then-Judge Neil Gorsuch on the 10th Circuit before he joined the Supreme Court as Trump’s first pick.

“…if Trump doesn’t pick one of the three women named above, it might well be one of the following from his earlier lists.

Margaret A. Ryan, 56, of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, was appointed by President George W. Bush in 2006. As a military judge and a veteran, she stands out among other contenders.

Joan Larsen, of the 6th Circuit,  previously was named to the Michigan Supreme Court by Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican.

Martha Pacold, 41, has been on the bench of the Northern District of Illinois since August 2019. She previously was deputy general counsel of the Treasury Department. A former clerk to Thomas, she received her law degree with honors from the University of Chicago.
