<p>&#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; moderator and NBC political editor Chuck Todd said that the chance to choose a new Supreme Court justice could be the &#8220;lifeline&#8221; that President Joe Biden needs as his poll numbers continued to slip.</p>
<p>Todd opened Sunday&#8217;s broadcast of NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; with a monologue suggesting that Biden&#8217;s nomination to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer could deliver the political &#8220;reset&#8221; the Biden administration has been seeking — a reset they need in the wake of two major legislative failures.</p>

<p>— Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) <a href="https://twitter.com/MeetThePress/status/1487813816532488193?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 30, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Just least week, we said President Biden was in desperate need of a reset. His poll numbers are falling, particularly among African Americans, and there&#8217;s real fear that Democrats&#8217; midterm hopes will be sunk by a lack of enthusiasm among the very voters who put Mr. Biden in office,&#8221; Todd began as he opened the show.</p>
<p>&#8220;And then, just like that, Mr. Biden was thrown a lifeline,&#8221; Todd said, referencing Justice <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/im-an-optimist-justice-breyer-pulls-out-pocket-constitution-says-he-believes-american-experiment-will-prevail/">Breyer&#8217;s announcement</a> that he intended to retire at the end of the high court&#8217;s current session.</p>
<p>&#8220;President Biden vowed to keep his promise during the campaign that he would appoint an African American woman to the first court opening he had,&#8221; Todd continued, noting, &#8220;That could help with declining black support.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Supreme Court hearings could also blunt that enthusiasm problem, serving as a reminder to Democrats that elections have consequences and they matter,&#8221; Todd said, adding, &#8220;And getting a Supreme Court nominee confirmed would give Mr. Biden a political win after the disappointments of the last few months over voting rights and Build Back Better.&#8221;</p>
<p>Todd went on to note that replacing Justice Breyer, a fairly reliable liberal vote on most issues, would do little — if anything — to change the overall balance of the court, but that might not matter if he could <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/we-need-to-change-that-biden-team-plans-public-reset-to-rescue-president-from-plummeting-polls/">change the narrative</a> surrounding his administration.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mr. Biden finally has an open field with a real chance to put some points on the board — and at least temporarily change the narrative of his presidency,&#8221; he concluded.</p>
<p>Biden&#8217;s plan to follow through on his promise has been met with criticism from a number who feel that it is both racist and sexist if the president refuses to consider anyone who does not first check the designated demographic boxes of &#8220;black&#8221; and &#8220;female.&#8221;</p>
<p>Others, like &#8220;The View&#8221; host Sunny Hostin, have said that it&#8217;s important for Biden to keep his promise because it would shore up his support among black women voters.</p>

<p>As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oh-clarence-the-view-trots-out-racist-trope-claiming-justice-clarence-thomas-doesnt-really-represent-the-black-community">reported</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“Keeping his promise to the community is very important, and the other thing is, you know, it’s not like there’s a dearth of African American women that aren’t capable and really qualified for this job,” co-host Sunny Hostin added, noting that Biden was slipping in polls and a move like that could shore up some support especially among black women voters.</em></p></blockquote>
