Shireen talked about restoring trust in the Supreme Court, and I’m all for that. I just think advertising that Biden is specifically pre-selecting the nominee based on race seems much more performative than picking someone who is qualified who also happens to be a minority. The destination is the same, but the journey to get there is very different, and the performative aspect does anything but increase trust in my eyes.
