As Midterms Near, Justice Alito Says He Considers Each Year Whether to Retire
The justice, the second oldest on the court at 76, told CBS News that he decided against stepping down last term. He could face pressure should Democrats win the Senate in November.
What the coverage shows
The outlets do not converge on a single retirement story: The Independent is the only one to foreground Alito considering retirement and the prospect of another Trump nomination. The Hill instead highlights Alito praising the courage of the Roe v. Wade decision, Reason only points to his comments about deciding when to retire, and NBC News and Newsweek frame the Supreme Court around Trump’s clashes with the justices and his relationship to the court more broadly.
