South Carolina judge Michelle Childs is one of the top names being discussed to fill the seat that is opening up on the Supreme Court. President Biden has already said he'll nominate a Black woman, and Rep. Jim Clyburn is upping his pitch for Childs to be Biden's pick.
A seat is opening up on the United States Supreme Court.
President Joe Biden has said that, for the first time, a Black woman will serve on the country’s highest court.
The question, of course, is who it will be.
South Carolina judge Michelle Childs is one potential pick. Childs has the support of Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina — the House majority whip, an ally of Biden and the person who told Biden in the first place that he should commit to appointing a Black woman to the Supreme Court.
Today, we’re talking about the political dynamics surrounding this Supreme Court pick and Childs’ prospects as a potential nominee.
