White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday President Biden “stands by” his earlier promise to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court after several outlets reported that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer plans to retire at the end of the Court’s current term.
The 83-year-old’s retirement was first reported by NBC’s Pete Williams and comes after Breyer served 27 years on the High Court. It will present President Biden with his first opportunity to appoint a justice to the Supreme Court.
