Trump's picks demonstrate a strategic approach to inclusion, playing to individual strengths and loyalty, ensuring a broad coalition of conservatives can unite behind them.
Why might some Democrats be urging Justice Sonia Sotomayor to step down?
Democrats fear Trump could shift the Supreme Court balance further to the right if Sotomayor remains, allowing Biden to appoint a left-wing justice while they still control the Senate.
Why did Bernie Sanders oppose the idea of Justice Sotomayor stepping down?
Sanders believes it's not a sensible approach, possibly due to the political optics and the potential backlash from the left if a sitting justice resigns under pressure.

Murphy sees neoliberal policies as alienating the working class and poor, leading to electoral losses in states like Michigan and Ohio, necessitating a return to policies that address economic interests.
