Cruz speculates on Biden picking Harris for court
By Alexander Bolton - 01/31/22 11:57 AM EST
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in a podcast speculated that President Biden may nominate Vice President Kamala Harris to serve on the Supreme Court “to get her out of the White House.”
Biden has promised to nominate a Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court but there is little to no chance he's going to pick Harris.
She is not among a half-dozen names of judges who are seen as the top potential picks to succeed retiring Justice Stephen Breyer.
But that hasn't stopped some Republicans, such as Cruz, from speculating about a Harris pick.
“Look the Democratic Party is very worried that she’s the presumed successor to Joe Biden because her political negatives are so strong,” Cruz told co-host Michael Knowles on the podcast Verdict.
