Conservative Senators Cruz and Lee Considered for Ramaswamy's Supreme Court Shortlist

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has released a shortlist of potential Supreme Court nominees, including Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, as well as conservative judges known for controversial opinions on issues such as abortion and LGBTQ rights. Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur, is seeking to make a name for himself in a crowded GOP primary field. He also outlined potential appellate court nominees, including judges who have made contentious rulings on abortion and Covid-19 mask mandates. Ramaswamy's move echoes former President Donald Trump's announcement of a Supreme Court shortlist in 2016.
