But if the GOP loses the Senate next month and he does decide to retire at that point, they would still have 60 days for Trump to nominate someone (which he probably has someone all ready to go) and for the Senate to confirm with GOP control.
It only took them 38 days to nominate and confirm Barrett after Ginsberg died.
