Merrick Garland The nomination, first reported Wednesday and officially announced Thursday, will need to be confirmed by the Senate. Biden also nominated Lisa Monaco as deputy attorney general, Vanita Gupta as associate attorney general, and Kristen Clarke as assistant attorney general for civil rights. Among the other finalists for the top job at the Justice Department were former Alabama Sen. Doug Jones, former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. In choosing Garland, a white man, as attorney general, Biden resisted calls from civil rights advocates and progressive members of the Democratic party to choose a woman or candidate of color. Those groups were particularly interested in an attorney general candidate who would prioritize rectifying long-standing inequities in the criminal justice system for the country’s minority populations, particularly the Black community.
