thank you so much. you really can t underscore enough what a momentous decision this is for a sitting u.s. president to make. now president biden getting the chance to make a nomination of his own to the supreme court. now the political piece of this is going to be very, very important too. we know that the white house, president biden and his top aides will be keenly aware of this. that s the political calendar. they are very much focused on the fact that the midterm elections are looming and right now the senate is closely divided with vice president kamala harris weighing in as the tie breaking vote. this is their slim, slim majority. the slimmest majority you can have to get a justice through. we already know from our colleagues on capitol hill who are reporting this that the timeline is likely to move quickly and again this is going to be a luj, huge decision for the president to make and at this moment in time, we do expect that the formal
