Justice Samuel Alito told the Wall Street Journal on Friday that he intends to serve another term on the Supreme Court, shutting down months of speculation that he would step aside for a younger conservative successor.
A retirement this year would have handed President Donald Trump a vacancy to fill with a like-minded jurist while Republicans control the Senate.
“Obviously I’m here for another term,” Alito told the newspaper.
“If that means a high correlation with what Trump wants, fine.
If it means zero correlation with what Trump wants, fine as well.”
