Official announcement from Justice Sotomayor or the Supreme Court

Bakari Sellers Urges Biden to Appoint Kamala Harris to Supreme Court Before Trump Takes Office

Democratic strategists and commentators, including CNN analyst Bakari Sellers, are advocating for Vice President Kamala Harris to be appointed to the Supreme Court before President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20, 2025. This suggestion comes in light of the recent election results and the potential shift in political power. Sellers has been vocal about this idea, stating that Harris has the 'legal pedigree' to serve on the court and that such a move would stir up political chaos. The proposal is seen as an attempt to secure a liberal justice on the court before Trump's inauguration, amidst discussions about the future of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who some liberals have urged to retire to allow for a replacement by President Joe Biden. CNN anchor was stunned by this suggestion, noting the potential for significant political upheaval.
