NBC News released the first clip from Lester Holt’s Super Bowl sit down on Thursday with Joe Biden, in which the president said that he’s done a “deep dive” on “about four” potential Supreme Court nominees to succeed Justice Stephen Breyer.
A longer version of the interview, taped earlier on Thursday in Culpepper, VA, will air as part of NBC’s pre-game on Sunday, continuing a tradition where the host network lands an interview with the sitting president.
“I think whomever I pick will get a vote from the Republican side for the following reason: I’m not looking to make an ideological choice here,” Biden said. “I am looking for someone that can replace Judge Breyer with the same kind of capacity that Judge Breyer had, with an open mind, who understands the Constitution, interprets it in a way that is consistent with the mainstream interpretation of the Constitution.”
Biden has said that he will announce his choice by the end of February.
