that could be a raymond kethledge. the vice president has also been involved in conversations with finalists, according to sources. and monday is the big finale of this. and the president likely would stick with that schedule because it would be a primetime media event, a national address. something of this stature, a nominee to the supreme court certainly rises to that level. even if the president decides today, tomorrow over the weekend, there's still a little bit of room before he might unveil it. and then you have the mechanics of once a nominee is notified, you have to get them to washington if they're not already here, et cetera, et cetera. so process is narrowing, certainly a big indicator. but there's still question marks until we know for sure at the latest monday night. >> i want to touch on something here. the president has claimed he's not asking them how they would vote on roe v. wade. it doesn't matter because they've been vetted by the heritage foundation and the senators are going to ask this question.

the white house is working on what's known as rollout packages for four candidates brett kavanaugh, raymond kethledge, amy barrett and thomas hardiman, the last candidate hardiman is considered to be lower on the list of four and somewhat of a dark horse. vice president pence reportedly met with three of those this week. sources tell fox news he met with kavanaugh on wednesday, on monday and tuesday he met with barrett and kethledge when he was in indiana. heading into the dinner last night, sources told us the president and vice president would compare notes on candidates and as we heard from the deputy press secretary, the pair did talk about monday's supreme court announcement, though, the white house says they talked about some other issues as well. senate democrats are encouraging their supporters, particularly those who are pro-choice and support obama care to hold rallies, make their opinions known and loudly speak out against the president's potential nominee and the people he is considering now. senator schumer previously called on senate republicans to hold off voting on a nominee

and that's in part why there is a growing sense inside the white house that raymond kethledge could be the front-runner right now. the 51 year old serves on the u.s. court of appeals for the 6th circuit where he has a solid conservative record. but he also hasn't had any hot button blockbuster cases which could help him through the confirmation process. we also know personal relationships are extremely important to president trump, and we're told his interview with kethledge this past week lasted longer than any of the others and that the two connected and engaged the best of any as well. the president has said he will likely make up his mind by the end of tomorrow and plans to let the rest of the country know monday night. julie? julie: all right, garrett tenney, thank you. >>> for more on all of this, let's bring in jaime weinstein, host of the jamie weinstein pod cast, foundling -- founding partner. as you have stated, president trump's pick will ensure a more conservative majority for at least a generation. so it goes without saying a lot of pressure on this pick? first of all, if

brett kavanaugh, raymond kethledge and amy coney barrett.the most controversial, someone who has already sparred with democrats during nominations. brett kavanaugh has plenty of experience but he is based in washington so that could work against him. so it is raymond kethledge who might be emerging as the front runner among front runners, somebody who might be able to win widespread conservative support. >> the rumor and the buzz is that as of now, today the president really hit it off with raymond kethledge and he could be the new front runner.>> the one thing that these three potential front runners have in common is their relative youth, the oldest among them is 53 so this is a decision that could have a lasting impact. from washington doug luzader, fox news.>>> quick good morning to frank mallicoat in the newsroom as we look ahead. >> good morning. happy friday everyone, now coming up in the next hour we know that san francisco has some of the highest rents in the country but what about in the world? coming up the new study that shows ho

i think the nominee who puts the most points on the board is raymond kethledge.w any of these nominees, but he touches religious liberty, he is very solid on the second amendment. he has a conceal/carry permit. so i still think i wouldn't write off raymond kethledge and wouldn't be surprised if the president was head-faking the "new york times." >> robert barnes, on that point, the question is, what do we know about this point? to hugh's point, the president wants to have this big reveal. he did that with neil gorsuch. he's trying to do that again. when you look at the gamesmanship, when you look at the politics surrounding this, how is this crucible different from what you have seen in the past when presidents have put forth nominees? >> well, you know, you have to sort of separate other presidents from this president. >> yes. >> and i think this president, as hugh said, very much wants a big reveal. he got that with gorsuch. you'll remember that he kept it fairly quiet until just before the announcement. and, you know, i think that he likes all the speculation

and then raymond kethledge of michigan. >> this is correct. want people that are not so coastal. one thing that the president does like is someone who he has some sort of rapport with or a feeling about. now keep in mind, as i said, this list was created by conservative legal groups and they did 95% of the work in terms of putting it together. but the ultimate decision from that list is his and i think that is why i'm hearing that brett kavanaugh is the lead. and the president does like the camaraderie and you talk to him and liked him and his family and his look, i'm told. so these are the things that the president is keeping in mind when making that final decision from among the two or three that i think are really left in contention. >> kevin, pipe in on what has been said so far -- one of the cons from a democratic perspective, abortion rights advocates will look at brett kavanaugh and may not be so thrilled with him. and why they might -- why might not they not be thrilled with him. >> i think we have to talk about policy. i would agree w
