Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death leaves the Supreme Court with a vacancy just weeks before the presidential election.
How are Supreme Court Justices nominated and confirmed?
First, Pres. Donald Trump has to make a pick. On Monday, he said Monday that he plans to announce his selection as soon as Friday.
Whoever is chosen will have to go through a Senate process, including public hearings.
Then there's a committee vote.
And then there's a Senate floor vote.
CNN reports the Senate is gearing up to put that process in motion, potentially before Election Day.
It takes 51 votes to confirm a justice. If Republicans have 50 votes VP Mike Pence can break the tie and vote to confirm.
