President Biden Committed To Naming Black Woman To Supreme Court: White House
U.S. President Joe Biden is committed to naming a Black woman to the Supreme Court, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Wednesday.
Her remarks came hours after multiple reports that Justice Stephen Breyer is stepping down from the top court at the end of the current term.
Breyer served as an appeals court judge from 1980 to 1994 before becoming a chief nominated by former President Bill Clinton.
When asked if Biden will pick Vice President Kamala Harris for the court, Psaki declined to speak about any “considerations, preparations, lists.”
During his presidential campaign, Biden pledged to nominate a Black woman if he was elected.
