Top Biden ally, Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) is advocating for the president’s Supreme Court pick to be judge Michelle Childs of South Carolina.

Democrats are calling for a judge who more closely represents the average working American, and Childs’ past work as a corporate lawyer is cause for concern that she won’t have the right perspective to hold the position in it’s best.
