President Biden will nominate Ketanji Brown Jackson, a federal appeals judge in Washington, D.C., to the Supreme Court, setting up the likely seating of the nation’s first female Black justice.

The White House made the announcement official Friday morning. Biden is expected to deliver remarks introducing Jackson as his nominee on Friday afternoon.

“Judge Jackson is an exceptionally qualified nominee as well as an historic nominee, and the Senate should move forward with a fair and timely hearing and confirmation,” the White House said in its statement.

For Jackson, her nomination culminates a meteoric rise through the federal judiciary following just eight months on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, a role she was chosen for after eight years as a federal district judge in D.C.
