U.S. President Joe Biden says he has done a ¡°deep dive¡± on four potential Supreme Court nominees thus far and intends to choose one who won¡¯t be ¡°ideological¡± and can win votes from Senate Republicans.
So far, Biden has dug in with ¡°thorough background checks¡± on four candidates to look for anything that would disqualify them, he said in a Thursday interview with NBC News. He did not say whether the four people he¡¯s studied make up part or all of his short list for the nomination.
The U.S. leader said he¡¯s confident that any pick he makes will be able to win Republican votes because ¡°I¡¯m not looking to make an ideological choice.¡± He¡¯s looking to replace the retiring Stephen Breyer with someone who has ¡°an open mind who understands the Constitution, interprets it in a way that is consistent with the mainstream interpretation of the Constitution.¡±
