Liberals have begun to quietly prod U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to retire before the end of President Joe Biden’s term so that he can appoint a younger far-left justice to replace her, according to a new report.

Several liberal columnists have recently argued that allowing President Joe Biden to appoint a younger liberal justice now would help prevent the potential of a 7-2 conservative majority if former President Donald Trump were to return to the White House in 2024.

The sentiment mirrors similar calls from early last year, as reported by Politico, where some Democrats close to the Biden administration shared this view but were hesitant to publicly suggest that the “first Latina justice” should step down to secure her seat for the party.
