#TheFinal5: Biden’s SCOTUS promise ignites controversy
As the political world awaits President Biden’s forthcoming Supreme Court nominee, his vow to name a Black woman is garnering praise from some, and scorn from others. While the promise is similar to then-President Reagan’s promise to nominate the first female justice in 1981 (Justice Sandra Day O’Connor), and former President Trump’s determination to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg with another woman (Justice Amy Coney Barrett), it’s still igniting controversy from the likes of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who called Mr. Biden’s plan “offensive.” Amanda Hunter from the Barbara Lee Family Foundation is Jim’s guest on "The Final 5."
