Biden Expected to Announce Nomination of Federal Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to SCOTUS

President Joe Biden is expected to announce Friday that he will nominate federal Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, NBC News and other outlets reported.

Biden made the decision on whom to nominate by Thursday night, NBC had reported.
