AI Summary
Main Idea: President Joe Biden’s coming Supreme Court pick will shape the political fight over the Court’s expected abortion ruling and could affect the midterm elections.
Key Points:
- The nomination is expected before the end of February, while the Court’s major abortion decision could come in June.
- The article says the abortion fight may matter more for the midterms than Biden’s nominee itself, though abortion has not yet been a top issue.
- Justice Stephen Breyer is not set to retire until summer, but the Senate could still act early on a replacement before he leaves.
- Biden is also trying to boost Democrats on the campaign trail, even as some candidates may avoid appearing with him because of his weak poll numbers.
