Jen Psaki Just Took Rumors About Kamala Harris Becoming a Supreme Court Justice to the Next Level

White House Press Secretary wouldn't directly confirm that Biden was selecting Vice President Kamala Harris to fill the Supreme Court vacancy soon-to-be-left by retiring Justice Stephen Breyer.

PSAKI: Biden stands by his promise to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court.

"Jen Psaki just reaffirmed that the President will only consider a black woman for the next nomination - a threshold gender and race condition that the Court itself has found unconstitutional for schools and unlawful for private businesses," Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley noted.

The rumor isn't new that Biden might tap Kamala Harris for the nation's highest court.

After CNN's admission of the Biden-Harris rift, the Daily Mail reported there was talk of the White House seeking a Supreme Court seat for Harris to get her out of their hair.

"Harris' approval rating has plunged even further than Biden's in recent months, with rumors swirling that the president is considering appointing her to the Supreme Court as a backdoor method of selecting a new VP," the Daily Mail reported.

Harris would first need to be confirmed as Supreme Court Justice, prompting her resignation.
