GOP Pollster Shares Dire Warning On What A Trump Win Means For The Supreme Court

Longtime Republican pollster Frank Luntz issued a dire warning Tuesday for concerned Democratic voters ahead of Donald Trump’s reelection. He said the president-elect will likely select two more U.S. Supreme Court justices after having already chosen three during his first presidential term.

Luntz shared his prediction live during NewsNation’s election coverage after officials called two swing states, Georgia and North Carolina, as well as the Senate, in Trump’s favor — and noted that the latter would make his Supreme Court influence more impactful than ever.

“The Supreme Court, with the Senate going red and with Trump at this point more than likely to be elected … whomever he wants is going to end up on the Supreme Court,” said Luntz after joining anchors Chris Cuomo, Leland Vittert and Elisabeth Vargas, per Mediaite.

“That is about as big of an impact as you can have this election evening because there are a couple of justices that will probably be retiring in the next year or two,” he continued.

Trump previously nominated Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett and has thus already created a conservative supermajority in the Supreme Court, who in 2022 overturned 1973’s Roe v. Wade decision that established a federal right to abortion.

Trump told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews in 2015 that “there has to be some form of punishment” for women who get abortions, but also refused to answer earlier this year if he would veto a national abortion ban during his second presidential term.

Luntz didn’t predict the justices Trump might nominate over the next four years but noted that their influence would also help Trump “put forward his economic policies,” which seem to include replacing the federal income tax with high tariffs — a policy favoring the rich.

“If he has the Senate, it becomes easier for him to put forward his economic policies, and some of it doesn’t even require a vote of Congress, but if you’re looking for that, that tariff policy is more likely than not to come into play,” Luntz added.

Trump, whose refusal to concede the 2020 election influenced Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and who was convicted in a hush money trial mere months ago, will retake the White House on Jan. 20, 2025.
