Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito plans to remain on the bench regardless of whether Democrats regain control of the Senate, according to a new report.
Alito is one of six conservative justices currently serving on the Supreme Court, three of whom were nominated by President Donald Trump.
Speculation about the future composition of the court often centers on the timing of justices' retirements relative to which party controls the Senate, since the Senate holds confirmation power over any nominee to replace a departing justice.
The report suggests Alito does not intend to factor Senate control into his decision about when, or whether, to step down from the court.
No additional details regarding the source of the report or any official statement from Justice Alito were included in available reporting.
