Clyburn Says He Pushed Biden to Put Black Woman on Top Court
  • South Carolina Democrat pressed issue before key endorsement
  • Book said Clyburn made support conditional on Biden’s promise

September 16, 2021

U.S. Representative James Clyburn said he talked to Joe Biden about nominating a Black woman to the Supreme Court before the South Carolina Democrat made his pivotal endorsement during the 2020 presidential primary.

Speaking on Bloomberg TV’s “Balance of Power with David Westin,” Clyburn confirmed reports he had pressed Biden on the issue in advance of the Feb. 25, 2020 South Carolina Democratic debate, when the candidate used his closing statement to promise he would nominate the court’s first Black female justice.


According to the new book “Peril,” by journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, Clyburn made his endorsement conditional on Biden’s commitment to nominating a Black woman. The book says that during a break in the debate, Clyburn pushed Biden to reveal his intentions that night. Biden went on to win the primary and cement himself as the front-runner for the nomination.


He didn't have to push hard since the illusion of progress is to put black women in these positions. The image in this country is while black men are being killed by race soldiers left and right, black women are continuing to make all these historic achievements. The moment black men say "what about us" we'll get hit with the whole patriarchy toxic black men bullshyt.

Is this your personal take? I ask because a lot of comments on the topic are rehashed youtuber speak.

A Black justice,with her leanings on the SC is a win. In the real world. In Youtuber-land maybe not.

This thread is a great example of who understands political optics and who doesn't
