Breyer is expected to be in attendance for the press event, and to confirm his planned retirement.

Liberal US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will retire this year after nearly three decades on the bench. This decision ensures Biden will have an opportunity to nominate a successor. Biden’s nominee will need the support of all 50 Democratic senators.
