Bakari Sellers, who was a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives for eight years Democratic Partystated in an interview with CNN that after losing to Donald Trump Kamala Harris she could be nominated to the Supreme Court.
For this scenario to come true, 70-year-old Justice Sonia Sotomayor would have to retire, allowing Joe Biden Harris's appointment in the final stretch of her presidency.
“Appointing a lawyer without judicial experience to the Supreme Court is unusual, it is not without precedent“- says “Newsweek”.
Kamala Harris has legal experience, but in a different area. Before she became vice president of the United States, she held the position senator and district attorney of San Francisco and attorney general of California.
As the media points out, this should not rule out her chance of a potential new function. Earlier, Barack Obama nominated Elena Kagan as a Supreme Court justice, although she had not been a judge before.
As Sellers indicated, the new role would guarantee Kamala Harris long-term liberal seat on the court.
