Clyburn: I Urged Biden to Vow to Pick Black Woman for SCOTUS Because I Thought That Would Save His Campaign, 'And He Did'

On Wednesday's broadcast of CNN's "AC360," House Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) stated that during the 2020 Democratic primaries, he urged then-candidate Joe Biden to raise the issue of nominating a black woman to the Supreme Court because "he had lost three primary campaigns in New Hampshire, Iowa, and Nevada and everybody was saying that his campaign was over" and Clyburn thought "the South Carolina primary could be a turning point in the campaign and I thought that one way to do that was to address this issue, and he did and addressed it many, many times since."
