Trump Says Ted Cruz Could Win Unanimous Senate Support for Supreme Court

Outlets on the center and right agree that Trump said he could nominate Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court and claimed Cruz would get all 100 Senate votes. Left-leaning outlets focus on Trump's warning that a pro-democracy resolution would hurt Republicans and frame the issue around voting protections. Center outlets describe the Cruz remarks as hypothetical and note there is no current vacancy. Right-leaning outlets also treat the nomination as hypothetical, presenting Trump's all-100-votes claim as a quip.
