President Joe Biden said Thursday that he's done a"deep dive" on four potential candidates to succeed Justice Stephen Breyer on the US Supreme Court, but he declined to name any of the prospective nominees.
"I've taken about four people and done the deep dive on them, meaning thorough background checks, to see if there's anything in the background that would make them not qualified," Biden told NBC News' Lester Holt in an interview taped Thursday. At a meeting with Senate Democrats on Thursday afternoon, Biden made clear that he was moving closer to interviewing potential nominees as soon as next week.
