Sources confirm he has hired law clerks for the Supreme Court term beginning in October 2026 and plans to serve into 2027. Earlier 2026 speculation centered on strategic timing, with analysts noting a Republican Senate majority and White House control could enable a like-minded successor before the November midterms.
