Sen. Lindsey Graham played up GOP support for S.C. Judge J. Michelle Childs to become Biden's Supreme Court pick, saying she could 'probably get more than 60 votes.'

to be the first Black woman on the court, according to multiple reports, and has won bipartisan favor from her state's leading lawmakers: Graham and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn ."I think she's the one that would get the most Republican votes," Graham told ABC’s "This Week," adding later that she could "probably get more than 60 votes.

""She didn't go to Harvard and Yale, which I think is a plus. She went to University of South Carolina," he said, adding that he told the president "and his team that if you nominate Michelle Childs she will be in the liberal camp, for sure, but she has a hell of a story."Biden met on Thursday with Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee to discuss potential nominees and said he planned to begin meeting with candidates as soon as this week.

Why does Graham still pretend he is a Republican? He is NOT for anything the Conservative Republicans are representing. He is a liberal Democrat at heart!

NO

Child's would be the worst judge for anti union, anti workers rights justice since ACB. Looks the uni party wins and Americans loses again.

She’s old. That’s why Lindsey is pushing hard for her.

That’s too much GOP support for my liking.

Blatant appeal to both Black voters in SC that might consider voting for him in ‘26… Shameless pandering…

Wait until the bourbon wears off and the Kompromat again takes hold. He’ll squirm away from this too.

But, nobody else.

Sorry. I don't trust weasels.

50 +1 is good! So don’t worry you POS!

tucsonrosie2001 Why, is she a Republican at heart?

Good reason to not select her

Strategic She's the oldest of the 3 being considered [the country is so partisan now that age plays huge into the nominating factor bc decades of control are at stake - Dems now have to consider age/health] and she's the least progressive by far His advocacy is a warning. So no

Seriously, who cares what that sycophant thinks?
