Here’s why: Thomas is 77 and Alito is 75.
Given the prospect of a Democrat winning the presidency in the 2028 elections, they will do all that can to replace those two aging right-wingers with much younger right-wingers.
They don’t want the chance of Alito and/or Thomas to die or retire when a Democrat is president. So there is going to be a puch for Trump to have a fourth nominee to the Court.
And Judge Cannon would like to be that nominee.
