President Biden touted the “historic moment” he was “honored” to share as Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed by the Senate as the first Black woman Supreme Court Justice Thursday, posting a photo of the two together.
“Judge Jackson's confirmation was a historic moment for our nation. We've taken another step toward making our highest court reflect the diversity of America. She will be an incredible Justice, and I was honored to share this moment with her,” Biden said in an Instagram post.
The picture in the post featured the two smiling with Biden holding up his hand to take a selfie.
A White House official told CNN earlier today that Jackson joined the President and other White House senior staff in the Roosevelt Room to watch the confirmation vote.
