If I was Trump, I wouldn't fill it. I would keep it open, and use it as a motivator for his base to show up to the polls.

Removing justices via impeachment would require a 2/3 vote in the senate, which the Democrats won't get any time soon. Expanding the Supreme Court requires an act of congress, likely meaning that the filibuster needs to be removed, which is something Biden has already said that he would consider and that Democrats could have the senate numbers to do.
