Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday broke with several of his Republican colleagues by seemingly expressing support for President Joe Bidenās pledge to nominate the first-ever Black woman to the Supreme Court.
In an interview on CBSā āFace the Nation,ā Graham (R-S.C.) ā a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee ā also appeared to endorse J. Michelle Childs, a U.S. District Court judge in his home state of South Carolina, for the seat held by the retiring Justice Stephen Breyer.
āPut me in the camp of making sure the court and other institutions look like America,ā Graham said. āYou know, we make a real effort as Republicans to recruit women and people of color to make the party look more like America.ā
āI canāt think of a better personā: Graham boosts South Carolinaās Childs for SCOTUS
āThere is no affirmative action component if you pick her," the Republican senator said.
