MISE A JOUR
Point #CourSuprême US au milieu de la crise ukrainienne. Selon la presse US (CNN, CBS), #JoeBiden annoncera son choix d'ici 8 jours pour le poste de Breyer. Outre les juges Kentaji Brown et Kruger évoquées ci-dessous, il a auditionné 1 3e postulante: J.Michelle Childs
2. La juge fédérale de district Childs est en poste en Caroline du Sud depuis 2010. Et elle est puissamment soutenue par Jim Clyburn, le représentant africain-américain de l'Etat à qui #JoeBiden doit en grande partie sa résurrection lors des primaires 2020.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
3. Et/mais cette "poussée" de #Clyburn en faveur de la juge #Childs de Caroline du Sud dérange certains dans l'entourage présidentiel de #Biden, qui pourrait être perçu, s'il la choisissait pour la #CourSuprême, comme trop influençable par des puissances partisanes.

James Clyburn endorsed Joe Biden this morning. What follows is a brief thread on how much this matters and what my book on the South Carolina primary with @gibbsknotts says about endorsements. Short version: this is indeed a big deal. #sc2020 #scpol #clyburn #firstinthesouth
First, some theory. Endorsements can have a big impact in nomination contests since voters can’t rely on party-id like in general elections. Endorsements fill the void giving voters a “cue” to mimic an informed decision. Of course, this hinges on reputation of the endorser.
In this case, Clyburn is the most influential Democrat in the state. He is the no. 3 ranking Democrat in the House and the most powerful African American in a state where over 60 percent of the Democratic primary electorate is Black.
