“This is every Democrat candidate’s worst nightmare, as it changes the game on turnout,” GOP pollster Chris Wilson told the Washington Examiner. “It doesn’t just close the enthusiasm gap, it injects rocket fuel into the evangelical base that helped Trump win swing states.”
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement,
announced Wednesday, will do more than reshape the high court. It also
scrambles the campaign for the November midterm elections.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton used the Supreme Court vacancy created
by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia to motivate their supporters to
vote.
