Some conservatives say it's discriminatory for Biden to choose a Black woman for the seat, but there's a precedent of presidents making such calculated choices.
Telemundo News journalist Julio Vaqueiro asked Harris about Cruz's comment during an interview broadcast on Thursday night.
"The idea that there would be a Black woman on the court is about ensuring that this court makes decisions in a way that reflect the experiences of all Americans," Harris responded. "The court that makes decisions that are fundamental to how we experience life—whether we have our constitutional rights, what's their impact—that court should represent the people of the country. It should be representative of the people who will be impacted by their decisions," Harris continued.
Furthermore, she said that when the court issues its rulings, diversity in the court ensures that"all viewpoints have been considered when the law is written." Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris has said that having a Black woman sitting as a justice on the Supreme Court would"reflect" the diverse racial makeup of the United States.
