Jim Clyburn (D-SC) confirmed on Thursday that he hinged his crucial endorsement of Joe Biden during the presidential primary on his choosing a black woman to sit on the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">Shortly after news broke of Justice Stephen Breyer\u2019s retirement from the highest court in the land, reports surfaced that Clyburn was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/27\/report-jim-clyburn-pushing-biden-hard-for-his-desired-supreme-court-pick\/\">pushing hard<\/a> for Biden to select his desired pick. Given that Clyburn may very well have saved Biden\u2019s candidacy against Bernie Sanders with his South Carolina endorsement during the primaries, his word could hold tremendous sway over Biden\u2019s pick. Speaking with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/washington-post-live\/2022\/01\/27\/117th-congress-house-majority-whip-rep-james-e-clyburn-d-sc\/\"><em>Washington Post<\/em><\/a>, Clyburn confirmed that his endorsement came with the caveat that Biden pledge to nominate a black woman.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"speakable\">Not a single time has a Black woman ever been seriously considered. And so I took that issue up with then-candidate Biden back in 2020 \u2026 How many times have you heard it said that black women are the backbone of the Democratic Party?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, you just can\u2019t say you\u2019ve got to show it. I happen to have been born and raised in the past, and I believe it\u2019s their deeds that matter, not their words. And so President Biden made it a commitment at the Charleston debate back in February. Two years ago, and said that if he got the opportunity, he would appoint or nominate an African-American woman to serve on the court.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Clyburn\u2019s comments all but confirm what journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/biden-promised-clyburn-to-nominate-black-woman-to-scotus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>wrote<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;in their book <em>Lucky \u2013<\/em> that the congressman pulled Biden aside during the Charleston debate in February 2020 demanding he make the pledge before receiving his endorsement.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBiden made the pledge later in the debate and received Clyburn\u2019s endorsement the next day which many believe catapulted his struggling campaign to the front of the pack,\u201d noted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/clyburn-confirms-he-urged-biden-nominate-black-woman-supreme-court-floats-possible-candidate\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, the president said that while he has not decided on a Supreme Court pick, the person will be a black woman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe person I nominate to replace Justice Breyer will be someone with extraordinary qualifications. Character, experience, and integrity. And they will be the first Black woman nominated to the United States Supreme Court,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The person I nominate to replace Justice Breyer will be someone with extraordinary qualifications.
