Biden to hold White House event Friday celebrating Jackson's confirmation
With Judge Jackson now Senate-confirmed to the Supreme Court, the White House has announced it will hold an event on the South Lawn on Friday afternoon to celebrate her confirmation.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Harris and Judge Jackson will speak, according to the White House.
The White House has framed Jackson's confirmation as a fulfillment of two big Biden promises -- one from the campaign trail, that he'd nominate the first Black woman, and the other as president, that he'd nominate someone in the mold of retiring Justice Stephen Breyer.
Jackson joined Biden in the Roosevelt Room on Thursday afternoon to watch the results of the Senate roll call vote -- ending with bipartisan confirmation to sit on the high bench.
