President Donald Trump will pay his respects to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the Supreme Court, where she is lying in repose.
In a statement, White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere announced that the president will travel to the court this week, according to a White House pool report.
“The President will pay his respects to the late justice on Thursday at the U.S. Supreme Court where she will be lying in repose,” the statement read.
Ginsburg, 87, died on Sept. 18 due to complications from pancreatic cancer, as IJR reported.
Ginsburg’s casket arrived at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, where there will be two days of public viewing. On Friday, she will become the first woman in U.S. history to lie in state in the Capitol.
The death of Ginsburg, a champion of gender equality, has ignited a new battle in the U.S. Senate over whether or not to fill her seat before the general election in November.
