JUST IN: @JoeBiden traveling to Philadelphia today to make remarks at approximately 2pm, his campaign says.

Campaign now advises that Biden’s Sunday afternoon remarks will be about the Supreme Court.

@JoeBiden Speaking in Philadelphia, @JoeBiden says: "If President Trump wants to put forward a name now, the Senate should not act until after the American people select their next president, their next Congress, their next Senate."

@JoeBiden Biden adds later that if he wins the White House, Pres. Trump's nominee should be withdrawn: "I should be the one who should nominate Justice Ginbsurg’s successor."

@JoeBiden "To jam this through the Senate is just an exercise in raw political power. And I don’t believe the American people will stand for it," @JoeBiden says in remarks at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

@JoeBiden Biden makes clear his remarks are pointed more at the "few Senate Republicans" who could stand in the way of holding a vote this year on Ginsburg's successor. "Don't go there. Uphold your constitutional duty."

@JoeBiden Regarding a possible list of potential Supreme Court nominees, @JoeBiden suggests releasing one is a "game." "Putting a judge's name on a list like that could influence that person's decision making as a judge. And that would be wrong."

@JoeBiden Biden adds any potential nominee would face "unrelenting political attacks" and his nominee "would not be able to defend herself" against those attacks.

@JoeBiden Biden says he'd name a nominee "Only after consulting Democrats and Republicans in the United States Senate and seeking their advice and asking for their consent."

@JoeBiden Biden reiterates that he would be making history with his first nominee as he's vowed to pick a Black woman first for any vacancy. "It would be part of a process that restores our finest traditions."
