A second vacancy arose during Trump's term when Justice [[Anthony Kennedy]], usually the swing vote in most 5-4 decisions, announced his retirement effective July 31, 2018; Trump announced that he would select Kennedy's replacement from the list and announce his pick on July 9.  Other vacancies are possible during a first term and should Trump run for and win a second term, most likely during that term.

Perhaps only three candidates on the entire list of 21 are reliably pro-life:  Florida Supreme Court Justice Charles Canady, federal appellate Judge Raymond Gruender, and U.S. Senator Mike Lee.
