Pres. Joe Biden has indicated to Senate Democrats he will start interviewing prospective candidates for the upcoming vacancy next week, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the meeting.
Emerging from a White House meeting with Biden on Thursday, Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said they are all"anxious to get started" with the process and confirmed that Biden would be"going to take up a meeting with the nominees soon." Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., added they're"aware of the historic nature of this appointment," and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.
"I'm not looking to make an ideological choice here," Biden said."I'm looking for someone to replace Judge Breyer with the same kind of capacity Judge Breyer had, with an open mind, who understands the Constitution, interprets it in a way that is consistent with the mainstream interpretation of the Constitution."Retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer listens as President Joe Biden speaks in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, Jan. 27, 2022.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed Friday there are"not plans" for Biden to meet with any of the potential nominees at Camp David over the weekend, but that candidates could arrive at the White House"as soon as next week."
