DeSantis aims to secure '7-2 conservative majority' on Supreme Court, warns of potential vacancies.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has outlined the possibility of building a "7-2 conservative majority" on the US Supreme Court by replacing four justices, including conservative stalwarts Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, who he believes are poised to leave the bench in the next eight or nine years. DeSantis also highlighted the potential opportunity to replace Chief Justice John Roberts or liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor to cement a conservative majority for years. As governor, DeSantis spoke about tilting the Florida Supreme Court to a conservative majority, with the help of age limits.
