Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer To Retire

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is expected to announce his retirement after serving nearly 30 years on the bench. The White House confirms President Biden stands by his commitment to nominate a Black woman to replace Breyer, a promise he first made on the debate stage in February 2020 when he was running for President. The next day, Democratic Rep. James Clyburn endorsed him, which ultimately helped Biden win his party’s nomination. The South Carolina congressman tells Anderson Cooper how important it was to have Biden’s word before backing the future President.

Plus, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the United States has given Moscow its written response in hopes of deterring a Russian invasion of Ukraine. Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy is a member of the Foreign Relations Committee and recently traveled to Kyiv where he and a bipartisan delegation met with Ukraine’s president. He joins AC360 to discuss the U.S.’s response to Russia’s demands.
