Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, has pledged to appoint the first African-American woman to the Supreme Court if he prevails in November.
Every president since Ronald Reagan has made at least two appointments to the Supreme Court.
According to biographical data kept by the Federal Judicial Center, there are 17 black female federal judges under the age of 60, the upper limit for Supreme Court nominees in recent decades.
Jackson, who sits on the federal trial court in Washington, D.C., has already been considered for the Supreme Court.
Jackson lunched with Justice Clarence Thomas as a Supreme Court clerk and recounted the experience to Kevin Merida and Michael Fletcher for their 2007 book, Supreme Discomfort: The Divided Soul of Clarence Thomas.
Following brief stints in private practice and a clerkship for Justice John Paul Stevens, Kruger entered government service as an assistant to the solicitor general, the Justice Department official who represents the U.S. government before the Supreme Court.
University of California Hastings College of Law professor Rory Little described her presentation style as polite and "Uniformly serious" in a 2015 review of Kruger's Supreme Court arguments.
