From the New York Times, I'm Michael Barbaro. This is The Daily.

Today, President Trump is scheduled to announce his pick for the Supreme Court at 9 p.m.

A look at the final candidates.

It's Monday, July 9.

We'll make a decision on the United States Supreme Court, the New Justice.

That'll be made over the next few days and we'll be announcing it on Monday.

And I look forward to that. I think the person that is chosen will be outstanding.

Thank you very much everybody.

I'll be announcing that on Monday.

Adam Lipteck, with hours until the announcement of the next Supreme Court nominee,

how many serious candidates do we believe that President Trump is considering at this point?

It looks like we're down to four. All of them are federal appeals court judges.

One of them, Brett Kavanaugh, sits here in Washington, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, sits on the seven circuit based in Chicago.

Thomas Hardeman, sits on the third circuit based in Philadelphia, and Ray Kethledge sits on the six circuit based in Cincinnati.

So these are all federal judges who sit on the court of appeals.

Correct. President Trump wasting absolutely no time with this one.

Just five days after Anthony Kennedy announces retirement from the Supreme Court.

The president interviewed four candidates.

Brett Kavanaugh, Raymond Kethledge, Amy Coney Barrett, and Thomas Hardeman.

Mr. Trump scheduled to announce his decision on Monday.

Okay, so take us through these candidates, the four of them, one by one.

And let's start on the least conservative end of the spectrum according to conservatives.
