White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on April 9 that President Joe Biden won’t interfere in Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s decision about when to retire, with the 82-year-old judge facing growing pressure from progressive groups to throw in the judicial towel.

“He believes that’s a decision Justice Breyer will make when he decides it’s time to no longer serve on the Supreme Court,” Psaki told reporters, responding to a question about what Biden’s view was on calls for the oldest member of the Supreme Court to step down.
