White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that President Biden won’t be “swayed” by campaigns for him to pick a particular person to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer as Democrats battle over the possible nomination of South Carolina federal judge J. Michelle Childs.

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) has enlisted Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham to join his push for their home-state favorite, but left-wing critics say that Childs is too friendly to corporations.

“He is not going to be swayed by public campaigns or public sniping or lobbying efforts. He is going to pick an eminently qualified black woman to nominate to the Supreme Court,” Psaki said at her daily briefing.

CBS News Radio reporter Steven Portnoy specifically asked Psaki about “some of the pushback that has been aired on the left” about Childs.

“Some of the criticism I’ve seen out there is related to her labor record. If you look at South Carolina, the AFL in South Carolina endorsed her and has been supportive of her,” Psaki said.

She added: “The president is not interested in public griping, or in lobbying campaigns or efforts to trash other candidates. He is going to keep his blinders on, look at the qualifications, the cases, the background, the credentials of these eminently qualified nominees.”

Psaki side-stepped many other questions during the briefing about the status of Biden’s review of potential candidates for the lifetime post. Biden has said he intends to make his choice this month.

Clyburn has urged Biden to pick Childs in numerous interviews since Breyer said he would retire and Graham has similarly sung her praises whenever asked.

But socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders’ group Our Revolution has slammed Childs over her past work as a corporate attorney.

“Her record shows that she wins for employers, and I think that’s problematic in this moment,” said Our Revolution executive director Joseph Geevarghese.

Clyburn elicited Biden’s pledge to pick a black woman as his first Supreme Court nominee ahead of South Carolina’s 2020 Democratic presidential primary. Clyburn’s endorsement revived Biden’s candidacy after three early-state losses.

Clyburn told the New York Times last year that Childs would bring diversity to the court because of her relatively humble upbringing and educational credentials.

“One of the things we have to be very, very careful of as Democrats is being painted with that elitist brush,” Clyburn said. “When people talk to diversity they are always looking at race and ethnicity — I look beyond that to diversity of experience.”

Eight current Supreme Court justices graduated from either Harvard Law School or Yale Law School. The ninth, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, earned her law degree from the University of Notre Dame. Childs attended law school at the University of South Carolina after earning an undergraduate degree at the University of South Florida.

Other top contenders to replace Breyer include 51-year-old DC appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, a former Breyer clerk who was confirmed by the Senate 53-47 last year with three Republican votes.

Georgia federal Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, 47, the sister of two-time Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, and California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger, 45, are also believed to be in contention.

Vice President Kamala Harris, 57, also has been mooted as a potential contender due to her background as California’s attorney general. However, Biden insisted last month that Harris will be his running mate if he seeks re-election in 2024.
