Jim Clyburn said Hillary Clinton would have won the election if Obama had picked a black woman. The Hill quotes Clyburn as saying that GOP resistance to the pick would have increased Black turnout. The first Black woman was confirmed to the court last week. According to The Hill, House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn said that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would have won the 2016 presidential election if Barack Obama had nominated a Black woman to the Supreme Court. While speaking with the newspaper, the South Carolina Democrat brought up Obama's nomination of now-Attorney General Merrick Garland for the seat that arose after the death of Antonin Scalia. I will always believe that Hillary Clinton would have been president if this had been done when Garland was nominated. All you have to do is look at voter turnout. Look at the turnout of Hillary Clinton. I think that the Black vote would have been more incentivized in Michigan and other places, that would have made a huge difference. It would have given her a better message. Clinton lost the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania in the 2016 election due to a combination of factors. Clinton would have won the White House if she had won all three states. The book Lucky: How Joe Biden Barely Won the Presidency was written by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, who were pressed by Clyburn to nominate a Black woman. Garland was nominated by Obama to replace Scalia on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Senate Republicans were building resistance and Obama wanted to find a replacement who was respected in Washington. Because of the political climate, President Obama wanted to make sure he picked someone who was beyond any possible criticism over whether or not he was ready to serve, according to a former Obama White House official. The nomination was blocked by the Republicans in the upper chamber. Clyburn said that a Black female judge being blocked by Senate Republicans would add a selling point for Clinton's candidacy and increase enthusiasm among Black voters. After taking office, Trump was able to nominate Neil Gorsuch, a conservative judge on the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, to the Supreme Court. If he won the presidency, Joe Biden would nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. Biden easily won the South Carolina primary after getting the endorsement of Clyburn. The victory gave him a good base for his performance on Super Tuesday and the rest of the Democratic primaries. President Biden nominated the first black woman to serve on the Supreme Court after Associate Justice Stephen Breyer said he would step down at the end of the current term. The Senate confirmed her to the high court last Thursday. Clyburn said that it meant a lot for him to see Jackson confirmed. The original article is on Business Insider.
