Biden predicts next president will appoint ‘a couple justices’

President Biden predicted during a speech Wednesday that the next president will be able to appoint two new Supreme Court justices, while warning against former President Trump winning another term.

“Guess what, the next president, they’re going to be able to appoint a couple of justices and I’ll be damned—” he said at a rally in Philadelphia.

The president campaigned at Girard College for the launch of Black Voters for Biden-Harris, an effort intended to mobilize support in the Black community.

He sought to woo Black voters in his remarks, including a vow to add progressive judges to the Supreme Court if he’s reelected.

“Look, if in fact they’re able to change some of the justices when they retire and put in some really progressive judges, like we’ve always had, tell me that won’t change your life when Trump justices are already gutting voting rights, overturning Roe, decimating affirmative action, and so much more,” he said. “We’re going to let that happen? We can’t. No, we really can’t.”
