President Joe Biden is planning to begin conducting face-to-face interviews with final contenders for the Supreme Court vacancy as soon as next week, aides say, after spending the weekend at Camp David studying a list of at least four candidates.
The President is making clear to his advisers that he wants to take a measure of the candidates in person, the aides told CNN, rather than speak with them virtually or by telephone.
The President intends to review biographical and vetting materials from DC Circuit Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger and South Carolina US District Court Judge J. Michelle Childs, an official tells CNN.
