Former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan voiced his support on Friday for President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, with whom he shares a familial connection.

“Janna and I are incredibly happy for Ketanji and her entire family,” Ryan tweeted of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination. Ryan’s sister-in-law is married to the twin brother of Jackson’s husband, The Washington Post reported.

“Our politics may differ, but my praise for Ketanji’s intellect, for her character, and for her integrity, is unequivocal,” he said, which he also told the Senate Judiciary Committee when Jackson was being confirmed for her first federal judgeship in 2012, The New York Times reported. Ryan called her “an amazing person” and “clearly qualified” at the time.
