Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina thinks a lot of Trey Gowdy a representative from his home state. So much so that he plans to recommend President Trump consider him for the Supreme Court.
According to CNN:
“I’m going to recommend Trey Gowdy be one of the folks that I would have a strong recommendation for him serving on the Supreme Court,” Scott said in an interview on CNN’s “The Van Jones Show” airing Saturday at 7 p.m. ET. “I hope that the President will be open to that recommendation.”
Scott called Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor, “incredibly fair” and said he was an equal opportunity critic of both the Trump and Obama administrations.
“A guy who will call balls and strikes and not choose a side, even when he’s an elected member, at this time in our nation’s history that’s hard to find,” Scott said.
The two Republicans have grown close over their time in Congress and recently co-authored a book,”Unified: How Our Unlikely Friendship Gives Us Hope for a Divided Country.”
Although Gowdy does not appear on Trump’s list of 25 names he is very popular amongst conservatives. The pick will be announced next week, and it would be a welcome twist if that name is Trey Gowdy.
