Seems this same bit of history -- about twenty-nine times --has now been mentioned by Kayleigh McEnany. 

Here's her quote:  “Twenty-nine times in history a president in their last year of their term has, in fact, nominated someone and been considered by the Senate,” McEnany explained. “So, the President will be following that precedent, and we believe that voters will be supportive of this move as we move forward and they see the quality of our nominee.”

Recall there's a prior message, posted here earlier, where that twenty-nine times comes from:  

"Twenty-nine times in American history there has been an open Supreme Court vacancy in a presidential election year, or in a lame-duck session before the next presidential inauguration. The president made a nomination in all twenty-nine cases. George Washington did it three times. John Adams did it. Thomas Jefferson did it. Abraham Lincoln did it. Ulysses S. Grant did it. Franklin D. Roosevelt did it. Dwight Eisenhower did it. Barack Obama, of course, did it.
