In surprising victory for Rep. Jim Clyburn, Biden nominates Michelle Childs, currently a district judge in South Carolina, to D.C. Circuit vacancy.
A bit odd how White House press release focuses on other nominee. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

Clyburn had pushed for Childs to be nominated to first D.C. Circuit vacancy, but that went to Ketanji Brown Jackson. postandcourier.com/politics/clybu…
Long delay in making this pick (vacancy arose in February) is presumably due to infighting. Hispanic activists evidently lost.

Of Biden's first 18 federal appellate nominees, 8 are African American (and 7 of those are women).
Only 3 Hispanics, and one is to CA1 seat in Puerto Rico.

Oops. Linked article shows that Clyburn was actually pushing for Michelle Childs to be Biden's first Supreme Court pick. So her nomination to D.C. Circuit might advance that hope.
