President Joe Biden has interviewed three women as potential nominees to be his Supreme Court justice pick, with the White House announcing he will share his decision by Monday.
Biden’s three candidates, who are all black women as he promised to nominate the first black woman to the Supreme Court, include federal judges Ketanji Brown Jackson, J. Michelle Childs, and California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger.
The nominee will replace outgoing Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, who announced he plans to retire later this year.
NBC News reported on Tuesday that Biden “continues to evaluate eminently qualified individuals in the mold of Justice Breyer who have the strongest records, intellect, character, and dedication to the rule of law that anyone could ask for,” according to Deputy White House Press Secretary Andrew Bates.
