WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump arrived at his Bedminster golf club late Thursday night, flying in from a campaign-style rally in Montana.

Air Force One landed at Newark Airport at 11:33 p.m. on Trump's return to New Jersey, according to White House pool reports. The president then traveled by helicopter to Bedminster. It was his second straight weekend in the Garden State.

While at Bedminster, Trump will have dinner Friday with Vice President Mike Pence.

"We're going to go over the Supreme Court and some other things that we're working on," Trump told reporters en route to Montana, according to pool reports. "I do think that something very, very exciting is Space Force. There is tremendous excitement about Space Force."

Trump is expected to decide his nominee to succeed Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court. He said he didn't expect any of the candidates for the court to visit him over the weekend.

The Washington Post said Trump was focused on three federal appeals court judges, Brett Kavanaugh, Raymond Kethledge and Amy Coney Barrett.

"I think I have it down to four people and I think of the four people, I have it down to three or two," Trump told reporters. "I don't want say the four. But I have it down to four.

"I'll have a decision made in my mind by Sunday," he said. "We'll announce it on Monday. I'll give you the answer."

During the campaign, Trump pledged to appoint justices who would reverse Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.
