A poll found around half of Americans believe having the first Black female justice would not make a difference for the country.
According to a Washington Post-ABC News poll, almost as many Americans believe it would be a “good thing.” Only four percent say it would be a “bad thing.”
The poll shows a 65% majority of Black Americans are convinced it would be a good thing compared to 33% that say it would make no difference, as the Post reported.
On President Joe Biden’s decision to nominate a Black woman to the court, nearly 8 in 10 Americans support it. Forty-two percent of Independents support the decision compared to only 16% of Republicans who say the same.
The poll was conducted Sunday through Thursday and surveyed 1,011 adults.
CNN reported on Friday Biden has selected Ketanji Brown Jackson as his nominee to the Supreme Court.
“President Biden sought a candidate with exceptional credentials, unimpeachable character and unwavering dedication to the rule of law,” a senior administration official said.
According to the official, Biden gave “considerable weight” to other candidates, including Judge J. Michelle Childs and California Supreme Court
