The report added that Ginsburg had informed her  granddaughter she didn't want to be replaced until a new President is installed.

A few days before her death, Ginsburg dictated the statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed," according to NPR.

Ginsburg died after a fight with pancreatic cancer, the court announced, saying she passed away surrounded by her family at her home in Washington, DC.

Affectionately known as the Notorious RBG, she was a staunch opponent of President Donald Trump. Ginsburg  was outspoken in her condemnations of the president, a man she criticized for his "ego" and whose impact on the court she said she did not "even want to contemplate."
