Who will Joe Biden nominate if Breyer retires?

[tosk]

He has repeatedly said that he plans to nominate a Black woman, so that should really be a prerequisite for any list of potential suggestions. Ketanji Brown Jackson (who was on the Garland shortlist back in 2016) & Leondra Kruger will probably top the list.

If I was on Biden's staff, these two would be immediate frontrunners. Both highly qualified, and very smart. Haven't heard of any other potential nominees that fit the black + female qualifications set out by Biden. At least, no others that are also young enough to serve for decades.

For anyone wondering Jackson is 50 and Kruger is 44.

Pierre-Louis and Montgomery–Reeves should get federal experience before they're nominated, Biden can't afford to get his first SCOTUS nominee held up.

Tamara Ashford, Camille Nelson, Denise Casper, Leslie Abrams Gardner, and Montoya-Lewis, as well as the two you mentioned, are all at least close to as experienced as Leondra Kruger.

I'd argue CA Supreme Court is a bigger job than most other state supreme courts, but I could be wrong on that
