US Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg died of a metastatic pancreatic cancer last Friday at the age of 87, raising questions of who would replace her.
US President Donald Trump and the Republican party said they wanted to fill her seat right away to be assured that this government will make the decision.
Joe Biden asked to wait after the elections to make a decision that would have an impact over the US judiciary system, following the wish Justice Ginsburg made herself in her final days.
