1:18Now PlayingMeet Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden's expected nominee for the Supreme Court.
RELATEDPresident Biden announces Supreme Court nomination Ketanji Brown Jackson
President Joe Biden will name U.S. Circuit Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, replacing retiring Associate Justice Stephen Breyer with a jurist who would become the first Black woman to serve on the nation’s highest court in its 233-year history, the White House said Friday.
"Since Justice Stephen Breyer announced his retirement, President Biden has conducted a rigorous process to identify his replacement," the White House said in a statement. "Today, President Biden will introduce Judge Jackson, an exceptionally qualified and historic nominee. Judge Jackson will also deliver remarks."
Jackson, a 51-year-old federal appeals court judge in Washington, D.C., has long been considered a frontrunner for the president’s first Supreme Court nomination. Because she was recently confirmed by the Senate with bipartisan support, her selection is a signal the White House is aiming for a drama-free confirmation – or, at the very least, a less messy fight than has been the case for recent nominees.
