Senator Joe Manchin applauded Stephen Breyer for his decades of supreme court service, and he said he looks forward to meeting with Joe Biden’s nominee to fill the liberal justice’s seat. “Justice Breyer has dedicated much of his life to upholding the rule of law and we are grateful for his service. I wish him a happy and fulfilling retirement,” Manchin said.\nHe added, “I take my Constitutional responsibility to advise and consent on a nominee to the Supreme Court very seriously.

I look forward to meeting with and evaluating the qualifications of President Biden’s nominee to fill this Supreme Court vacancy.” After news broke of Breyer’s expected retirement, some Democrats expressed concern that Manchin and/or Kyrsten Sinema may oppose Biden’s eventual nominee, as they have helped to block key components of the president’s legislative agenda.
