Justice Stephen G. Breyer has announced his upcoming retirement, which means President Biden should be able to name his successor. It would keep the balance of three liberals and six conservatives, except there’s two major concerns – Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. Their recent inclination to shut down major progressive priorities, like voting rights legislation and the Build Back Better Act, leaves many uncertain of where they might stand when it comes time to vote.
Biden’s nominee will need the support of all 50 Democratic senators to be confirmed – and the confirmation is crucial in ensuring that we do not lose yet another liberal Supreme Court seat.
Add your name to call on Manchin and Sinema to confirm Biden’s Supreme Court nominee!
Manchin has a history of being unpredictable when it comes to GOP Supreme Court picks, like when he was the only Democrat to vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. Sinema has also been quick to push back against progress, staunchly opposing filibuster reform that would allow our Congress to get real work done for America.
No matter how at odds Sinema and Manchin might be with the Democratic party, ensuring the speedy confirmation of a liberal successor is infinitely more important.
Sign your name to demand Manchin and Sinema confirm Biden’s Supreme Court nominee!
