WASHINGTON — A well-funded outside group with close ties to President Joe Biden’s administration is preparing to launch an effort defending the president’s forthcoming pick to serve on the Supreme Court, a spokesperson for the group says.
Building Back Together, a nonprofit organization that has spent tens of millions of dollars since last year promoting Biden’s agenda, will work alongside judicial and civil-rights organizations and include paid ads, according to a spokesperson.
A BBT spokesperson added that the effort will focus on responding to attacks against the yet-unannounced nominee, whom Biden is expected to name in the coming weeks after current Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer announced his retirement.
