U.S. President Donald Trump has said he hopes his Supreme Court justice will be approved before the November 3 election, putting more pressure on Senate Republicans and majority leader Mitch McConnell, who is trying to protect some of the party's unstable members.

Trump said on Monday that he would nominate the replacement of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Budd Ginsburg by the end of the week and hoped to hold a hearing soon and vote before the general election. He warned that any Republican who opposes him will pay a heavy price when voting in the election.

"this vote, the final vote, should be held before the election, and we have plenty of time," Trump said on Fox News. He said the election is to decide who wins the White House and which party controls the election of Congress. There are still 43 days to go from now on. "if you control the Senate, if you have the votes, you can do what you want."

Holding potentially hostile confirmation hearings before the election and voting to replace Ginsburg, who died on Friday, could take up valuable time that could have been spent on the campaign. it will also force incumbents with unstable seats in swing states to take a controversial vote before election day. But if the Democrats win the election, it could change the balance of power in the Senate, as the Democrats are already discussing how to retaliate in the event of a resounding victory.

McConnell has promised to vote for Trump's nominee, but has not set a timetable. It would be an unusual move to conduct reviews, hearings and confirmations in less than 40 days.

"to get this done before election day, I think everything needs to go well," Missouri Senator Roy Blunt, one of the Republican leaders, told CBS on Sunday.>Columbia RadioAccording to the company's "facing the country" program.
