President Joe Biden and Justice Stephen Breyer made a joint appearance Thursday at the White House to announce Breyer’s retirement from the Supreme Court.  

"I'm here today to express the nation's gratitude to Justice Stephen Breyer for his remarkable career of public service, and his clear-eyed commitment to making our country's laws work for its people," Biden said.

Biden also reaffirmed his commitment to nominate the first black woman to the Supreme Court which he said was “long overdue.”  

"I will nominate someone with extraordinary qualifications, charity, experience and integrity. and that person will be the first Black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court," he said.

"I have made no choice at this point," he added.
