In June 2021, McConnell announced he would seek to block Biden from naming a justice to the high court in 2024, under the rationale that it was too close to the presidential election. McConnell did not commit to giving a hypothetical Biden nominee a vote in 2023 either. While Democrats decried those statements as arbitrary, they also added pressure on Breyer to retire before 2023.
“I look forward to moving the president’s nominee expeditiously through the committee," Durbin told reporters on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Whether he will be able to achieve that remains to be seen. Fresh off refusing to join his party's attempt to bypass the filibuster to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, Manchin, D-W.Va., now becomes something of a question mark for Democrats who need his vote to confirm Biden's Supreme Court nominee.
The question is whether Manchin will find Biden's pick to be too liberal for his liking. From blocking the Build Back Better spending bill to nixing changes to the filibuster, the staunch centrist has shown no reluctance to take on Biden and his party.

I told you they'd push him out. He didn't even get to announce his own retirement, tells you all you need to know. Now, the choices are limited to only black female judges. Qualifications, be damned.
