President Biden has completed interviews with at least two "leading contenders" to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court, The Washington Post reports Tuesday. Additionally, West Wing officials have begun counseling allies on how best to "defend the nominee against potential attacks," the Post notes.

One of Biden's interviews was with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, and the other with Judge J. Michelle Childs, one source told the Post. The same source noted it is possible Biden has also completed interviews with other nominees.
