Biden promised Rep. Clyburn to nominate Black woman to SCOTUS

Biden also appointed Clyburn’s daughter to a federal post

President Biden will soon be faced with the choice of whether to make good on a promise about the Supreme Court he made to Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., to secure Clyburn’s endorsement during the 2020 South Carolina primary.

After having performed poorly in Iowa and New Hampshire, Biden needed to win South Carolina in February 2020 if he hoped to have a shot at the Democratic nomination. Clyburn, the House majority whip and former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, offered to endorse the faltering candidate but reportedly demanded that he make a public pledge to place a Black woman on the high court.

During a break in the debate, Clyburn reportedly went backstage to remind Biden of what they discussed.

“So Clyburn gets up from his seat in the debate hall in the audience, and he makes a beeline for the exit,” Allen said on the Yahoo News “Skullduggery” podcast last year.

“He says, ‘Look, I told you that I wanted you to say that you were going to name a Black woman to the Supreme Court. You haven’t done it yet. You’ve had a bunch of opportunities. Don’t you dare leave this stage without doing it.’”

  1. IF we were really not racist, we would promote the BEST candidate no matter color, race, sex. This country has been dumbed down because we have to look at First this, and First that. Blacks, Whites, Female, Male – if you are qualified, you are qualified. As a black person do you really want a position because your black? Or do you want to feel you earned it. The system is NOT against you anymore, if anything its rigged in your favor. Athletes are probably the only ones that EARN their spots anymore.

    1. Sports used to be based on earned merit, but now we have some biological male trying to be the “first” transgender to win women’s sports. He only wins because he has a biological advantage and shouldn’t be in the women’s category. Sports isn’t even fair anymore.
      The world has gone crazy!

  2. What about the first Asian
    What about the first Italian
    What about the first Native American
    What about the first Irish
    And on and on and on
    Come on people
