Sen. Lisa Murkowski on Sunday said President Joe Biden should put forward a Supreme Court nominee who could receive support from Democrats and Republicans, while also noting she would be “honored” to back an “exceptional African American woman.” During a joint interview with Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Murkowski said that Biden tapping a consensus pick would be a much-needed olive branch to Americans who have lamented the increased politicization of judicial nominations in recent years. “It goes back to [the president’s] words at the prayer breakfast. How are we going to unify? What is it that we need to do?” she said.
