Biden Predicts Next President Will Appoint 'a Couple' of Justices
SUMMARY
President Biden warned supporters in Philadelphia about the potential impact of the next president's Supreme Court appointments, cautioning against further conservative picks by former President Trump. Biden highlighted the importance of maintaining a 'balanced Court', citing his own concerns over issues like voting rights and abortion. The speech coincided with a campaign targeting Black voters, amid polls showing increased support for Trump in this demographic. Democrats have used the Supreme Court's conservative majority as a rallying point for their progressive base, with calls for Justice Sonia Sotomayor to step aside to allow Biden to appoint a replacement if Trump wins, given his track record of conservative appointments.
