President Donald Trump on Wednesday unveiled his latest list of potential nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court as he seeks to fend off Vice President Joe Biden in the presidential election and maintain conservative control over the federal judiciary.

The president announced 20 additional names, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), to a previous list of potential nominees, last updated in November 2017.

Circuit, are judges that Trump himself has previously appointed to the bench.
