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.
