President Joe Biden on Tuesday tapped Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace Merrick Garland on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Jackson, an Obama appointee, has sat since 2013 on the U.S. District Court for D.C. Her elevation comes on the heels of intense prodding from liberal activists for Biden to nominate a black woman to fill Garland’s seat.
