The prospective Supreme Court nominee is garnering bipartisan support.Judge J. Michelle Childs was scheduled to have her Senate confirmation hearing to be a federal appeals court judge on Tuesday -- just weeks after President Joe Biden nominated her on Jan. 10.
Currently a federal district judge in South Carolina, Childs has gotten high praise from the state's influential Democratic Rep. James Clyburn.Clyburn's view is important because he helped Biden revive his presidential campaign at its lowest moment in 2020 by suggesting Biden pledge to put the first Black woman on the Supreme Court.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a key Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has said he"can't think of a better person." "She was raised by a single mother," Clyburn said."Her father, a former police officer, was killed in the line of duty. She was 13 years old, and her mother moved her to South Carolina."outside of work, she enjoys playing tennis, listening to live music, reading and spending time with her friends and family.
