It has been reported that former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany is predicting that Vice President Kamala Harris may tank a “done deal” like Joe Biden picking the soon-to-be vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court.During an interview on Fox News, McEnany, who served in the Trump White House, spoke to Dan Bongino about liberal Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer announcing that he will step down from the bench when the term is up.
“Vice President Kamala Harris is supposed to be helping (pick the next Supreme Court nominee). You worked in the White House, you were in the room for these conversations. Is this a political effort to save her reputation because she has failed at everything else and hope they can change the narrative?” the host said.
“For sure. Exactly, Dan,” she said. “Vice President Mike Pence was involved in a myriad of matters because he did a great job, like on Covid-19, for instance, he led the task force. And he proved himself to be skillful and adept.”
“Kamala Harris, she couldn’t get voting rights done. The border is up in flames. She’s failed at every task she’s been given so they said let’s give her the one-done deal that we have. Or in their mind, they think it’s a done deal. 50-50 Senate, we’ll get the Supreme Court justice through. If anybody knows how to light a sure-fire deal on fire, it’s Kamala Harris. You chose the one person who may tank what in your view is something that simply cannot be tanked.”

The White House has confirmed that U.S. District Court Judge J. Michelle Childs is on Biden’s shortlist of names to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, according to USA Today.
“Judge J. Michelle Childs has served on the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina since 2010. House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., an ally to the Biden administration, supports Childs,” the outlet added.
“Childs, whom Biden nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit this month, is the first candidate the White House has publicly confirmed. Her consideration for the Supreme Court was reported by The Washington Post days before she was scheduled to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee for her confirmation hearing,” the report continued.
