Supreme Court will become a 'highly partisan' body with Biden's nominee on the bench: Winsome Sears
Fox News
Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears said she hopes President Biden will pick a qualified candidate who “respects the Constitution” when nominating a Black woman to the Supreme Court.
"What we’re hoping is that, and you saw the poll on it, is that if he’s going to pick a woman, if he’s going to pick a Black woman, that he does pick someone who will respect the Constitution, that she will be a qualified candidate," Sears said Thursday on "The Story." "That’s really what we want."
The poll comes after Biden said that he will announce his nominee before the end of February and confirmed that the candidate will be a Black female. Among Democrats, 54% supported considering all nominees regardless of race and gender. Just 23% of those polled wanted Biden to restrict his list of nominees to Black women.
