Michelle Childs Gets Boost from Sherrod Brown

“After Sherrod Brown caught wind of the progressive angst over judge Michelle Childs’ possible ascension to the Supreme Court, the labor stalwart talked it through with her biggest Democratic backer — the House majority whip,” Politico reports.

“And the Ohio Democratic senator walked away satisfied from his conversation with Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), who’s stumping hard for his home-state judge to join the high court.”

Said Brown: “If she’s chosen, I’ll be enthusiastic. I’ve heard things. I am reassured from Clyburn and others that she would be a good nominee.”
