2 names have emerged as possible replacements. Don't really know how qualified they are.

Two names have been emerging from the list of Supreme Court contenders President Trump is said to be considering following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, according to reports.
Judges Amy Coney Barrett in Chicago and Barbara Lagoa in Atlanta are said to top the list.

Found the last sentence interesting. I can see where her nomination will help Trump quite a bit in FL.
Quote:
The Miami native was nominated in 2006 by then-Gov. Jeb Bush to Florida’s 3rd District Court of Appeals, where she served for more than a decade before being elevated briefly to the state’s Supreme Court. Last year, Trump nominated her to the Atlanta-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit and she was easily confirmed, according to USA Today.
Lagoa is a member of the conservative Federalist Society and is backed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis but some have questioned her conservative credentials, especially on abortion, according to Politico.
She’s also a Roman Catholic and of Cuban descent, which could help Trump in November.
