President Joe Biden formally announced the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, thanking him for his 'remarkable' service and reaffirming his commitment to nominate the court's first Black woman justice.
Breyer has been a justice since 1994, appointed by President Bill Clinton. Along with the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, he opted not to step down the last time the Democrats controlled the White House and the Senate during Barack Obama’s presidency. Ginsburg died in September 2020, and then-President Donald Trump filled the vacancy with a conservative justice, Amy Coney Barrett.
Political Editor Noah Pransky talks about what this means for the Democrats, several huge rulings the court will make this year, and how President Joe Biden can replace Breyer. Biden has pledged to name a Black woman to fill the seat.
