Heller: Justice Kennedy Will Step Down from Supreme Court This Summer

 

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy will retire this coming summer, according to Sen. Dean Heller (R., Nev.).

Heller made the comments in audio Politico obtained from an event. Heller said that he believes a vacancy in the Supreme Court will bolster enthusiasm for voters. He is running for reelection this year in a state Hillary Clinton won in the 2016 presidential election.

"Kennedy is going to retire around sometime early summer," Heller said. "Which I’m hoping will get our base a little motivated because right now they’re not very motivated. But I think a new Supreme Court justice will get them motivated."
