Barbara Lagoa

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death adds more complexity to an already tense presidential election. Judge Barbara Lagoa, on the short list to fill the seat on the Supreme Court, is seen as a candidate whose nomination could help the president win votes in Florida. Intersection's Matthew Peddie discussed the political tussle over the vacancy with Republican analyst Chris Carmody and Democratic analyst Dick Batchelor.

A Cuban American judge originally from Miami is reportedly on the short list to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg on the U.S. Supreme Court.

The president says he likely will nominate a woman, noting that such a choice "would certainly be appropriate."
