Republican Party has a split personality on the issue of vowing to appoint a Black woman justice
Republican criticism of President Biden's intent to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court comes at a tenuous time — as the party tries to expand its Black outreach.
Why it matters: The GOP had hoped to capitalize on Biden's lower approval ratings among Black Americans, as well as recent failure to pass federal voting rights bills, to make inroads ahead of this year's midterms and the 2024 presidential election.
But Republican disagreement about the Supreme Court this week foreshadows the challenge for a party whose titular leader — Donald Trump — tapped deep-seated anxieties around race and gender during his four years as president.
Driving the news: The Republican National Committee has opened five Black engagement centers in battleground states, including Ohio, Wisconsin, Florida and Pennsylvania.
