Washington. “Era más que hora”. Joe Biden confirmó este jueves que nombrará, por primera vez en la historia, a una mujer negra a la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos, para sustituir al juez Stephen Breyer, que anunció su jubilación este 27 de enero.

“La persona que nombraré tendrá cualificaciones, una personalidad, una experiencia y una integridad extraordinarias. Y será la primera mujer negra designada para la Corte Suprema”, dijo el presidente estadounidense, quien lo había prometido durante la campaña electoral.
