NO, JOE! Major Poll Shows 76% of Americans Don’t Want Biden to Pick Supreme Justice Based on Race

A new survey from ABC News published Sunday shows 76% of Americans want Joe Biden to select a Supreme Court nominee from all qualified candidates, while just 23% want him to follow through on his campaign promise and choose an African American woman.

“The ABC News/Ipsos poll, which was conducted by Ipsos in partnership with ABC News using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel, comes days after the most senior member of the Supreme Court, Justice Stephen G. Breyer, announced his retirement at the end of the current term. Breyer’s announcement provides Biden the opportunity to change the demographic makeup of the conservative-leaning bench,” reports ABC News.

“The person I will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity. And that person will be the first Black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court,” Biden said. “It’s long overdue in my view. I made that commitment during the campaign for president, and I will keep that commitment.”
