Description

News organizations are reporting the Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is planning to retire at the end of the current term. This gives President Biden his first chance to determine who's on the high court. And it's an opportunity to follow through on his campaign promise to appoint the first black woman to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Plus, how his retirement could affect the midterm elections.

And, the GOP courts Latino voters in Florida.
