President Donald Trump<\/a> said he is “prepared” to appoint up to three Supreme Court justices if vacancies arise, signaling he is ready to further reshape the high court as speculation swirls around a potential retirement from Justice Samuel Alito.<\/p>\n

Trump told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo that Alito, an appointee of former President George W. Bush<\/a>, could retire and that he has a shortlist of nominees in mind, though he did not mention any names.<\/p>\n

“In theory, it’s two \u2014 you just read the statistics \u2014 it could be two, could be three, could be one,” Trump said. “I don’t know. I’m prepared to do it. But when you mention Alito, he is a great justice.”<\/p>\n

A source close to Alito said the justice “is not stepping down this term and is in the process of hiring the rest of his clerks for the next term,” Fox News Digital learned. Fox News Digital reached out to the Supreme Court’s public affairs office for comment Wednesday evening but has not received a reply.<\/p>\n

Trump’s remarks sharpen the stakes around any potential vacancy, as the president has signaled he is ready to seize the opportunity to deepen the court\u2019s conservative majority. With retirement speculation around Alito and Republicans eyeing the window before the 2026 midterms, the prospect of an opening is already putting fresh focus on succession politics.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rumors about Alito, 76, potentially retiring have grown because of his age, his two-decade tenure on the bench and speculation that he may want to make sure a conservative successor is confirmed by the current Republican-led Senate, especially before the upcoming midterm elections in which Republicans are at risk of losing or seeing a diminished majority.<\/p>\n

The rumors were further fueled when it was revealed Alito was treated<\/a> last month for dehydration after becoming ill at a Federalist Society dinner. A Supreme Court spokesperson clarified at the time that the justice was “thoroughly checked” and returned to the bench the following Monday.<\/p>\n

TRUMP DISMISSES CALLS FOR ALITO, THOMAS TO STEP DOWN FROM SUPREME COURT, CALLING THEM \u2018FANTASTIC’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Justice Clarence Thomas, an appointee of President George H.W. Bush, has drawn less retirement speculation despite being one year older than Alito at 77 and his own lengthy tenure. Thomas has been a conservative fixture on the court for more than three decades and holds a record as the second-longest serving justice in history.<\/p>\n

Trump noted what he viewed as an upside to replacing Alito, who sides with him on nearly every high-profile court case, but said it would come at a cost.<\/p>\n

“Justice Alito is an unbelievable justice, and a brilliant justice, and he gets the country,” Trump said. “He does what’s right for the country. It’s the law, and he goes by it as much as anybody, but he gets to the point. That’s good for our country. So … one way you should be, ‘Oh, I’m thrilled,’ but he’s so good.”<\/p>\n

While many prominent conservative judges, from appellate court Judge James Ho to Florida-based federal Judge Aileen Cannon, have been floated as options in legal circles, Trump has not publicly revealed any of his preferences at this stage.<\/p>\n

Senate Chairman Chuck Grassley<\/a>, R-Iowa, told reporters this week he would recommend Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, or Mike Lee, R-Utah, as top candidates if Alito were to retire. Grassley emphasized that he hoped Alito would not step down but said his committee is “fully prepared” to process a nominee before the upcoming midterm elections if needed.<\/p>\n

Cruz said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital that having his name in the mix was a “high honor” but that he did not want the job.<\/p>\n

“The reason I’ve said no is that a principled federal judge stays out of policy fights and stays out of political fights. … But I don’t want to stay out of policy fights. I don’t want to stay out of political fights,” Cruz said. “I want to be right in the middle of them.”<\/p>\n

A Lee spokesman pointed to the senator’s remark to the Washington Examiner<\/a> that he wanted Alito “to stay on the court forever.”<\/p>\n

No president since Ronald Reagan has influenced the Supreme Court more than Trump, who secured three appointments during his first term, underscoring how Trump has shaped the 6-3 ideological divide on the court in favor of conservatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

George H.W. Bush appointed two, as did George W. Bush and former presidents Barack Obama<\/a> and Bill Clinton. Former President Joe Biden appointed one, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.<\/p>\n
