Q: President Donald Trump has two “finalists” for his Supreme Court nomination -- and both of them will be at the White House tonight. 
  
 A administration source with knowledge of the situation told CBS News that both Colorado-based Judge Neil Gorsuch and Pennsylvania-based Judge Thomas Hardiman will be at the White House Tuesday. Mr. Trump is expected to formally announce his pick at 8 p.m. ET.

 If confirmed by the Senate, the nominee would fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who suddenly died last February. 
  
 President Obama had nominated Judge Merrick Garland to the bench, but Senate Republicans refused to consider his nomination because they wanted the outcome of the election to determine the high court’s future. 
  
 Originally, the president’s announcement was supposed to come later in the week. The pick will be rolled out amid backlash from the executive order the president signed Friday that has blocked all travel to the U.S. from seven predominantly Muslim countries. ||||| Story highlights Judges Neil Gorsuch and Thomas Hardiman were the favorites for Trump's Supreme Court nomination 
  
 (CNN) In the end, Judge Thomas Hardiman only drove a few hours east of Pittsburgh. 
  
 "The reality is that to the best of my knowledge he never left the state of Pennsylvania," White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Tuesday night after the announcement. "He never was in DC, nor did he ever leave the commonwealth." 
  
 The Trump administration was taking extraordinary measures to build suspense and keep the final selection for its Supreme Court nominee under wraps for as close to the announcement as possible. Hardiman and Neil Gorsuch, both federal appellate judges, were the established favorites. 
  
 Gorsuch got the nod at the White House Tuesday night, and it turns out Hardiman never made it to Washington. 
  
 White House sources acknowledged Tuesday night they left the impression with reporters that he was coming to Washington. Hardiman appeared to play along. One source said Hardiman was given the sense that there could be a spot for him should another vacancy open up.

A: 
President Trump's announcement of his Supreme Court nominee—scheduled for 8pm Eastern—could have the feel of a reality show to it. CNN reports leading contenders Neil Gorsuch and Thomas Hardiman were both brought to Washington DC ahead of the announcement. Furthermore, an inside source says both "finalists" will be at the White House for Trump's announcement, according to CBS News. CNN was told by someone close to the White House that the Trump administration is "taking extraordinary measures to build suspense" for the announcement. In fact, the announcement was moved up in the week as Trumps executive order on immigration and refugees continued to negatively dominate headlines. Gorsuch is said to be Trump's likely choice.
