Trump on Saturday said Republicans have an "obligation" to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by the death Friday of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg "without delay."

"I will support President [Trump] in any effort to move forward regarding the recent vacancy created by the passing of Justice Ginsburg," Graham tweeted.
