On Monday evening, Amy Coney Barrett was sworn in as the 115th justice on the Supreme Court. While left-leaning articles highlight that President Trump launched a new attempt to mislead America over the state of the pandemic, right-leaning articles highlight that by confirming Barrett to the Supreme Court, Trump solidified his administration’s legacy.

A left-leaning article by CNN highlights that President Trump launched a new attempt to mislead America over the state of the coronavirus pandemic, as his prime-time televised celebration of Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination failed to distract from the mishandled emergency. Polls show that Trump is not closing his deficit with Biden in many swing states.

The Hill published a centrist article reporting that Justice Clarence Thomas administered the official constitutional oath to Barrett roughly an hour after the GOP-controlled Senate confirmed Trump’s third nominee to the high court in a party-line vote. Barrett is confirmed to the Supreme Court just eight days before Election Day, as Republicans are hoping her nomination will energize conservatives.

Fox News published a right-leaning article highlighting that by confirming Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, Trump has solidified his administration’s legacy. Senator Susan Collins, R-Maine, was the only Republican to vote against Barrett after expressing objections to moving a Supreme Court nomination before an election.
