US President Joe Biden said Thursday he will nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court for the first time in history, filling the vacancy left by retiring Justice Stephen Breyer.
"I've made no decision except (the) person I will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity," Biden said in an address from the White House.
"And that person will be the first Black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court."
Biden, speaking alongside Breyer, also indicated that he would seek a speedy nomination process, promising to name his candidate by the end of February.
