During the White House briefing on Wednesday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Biden doesn't intend to push back his plans for an announcement by the end of the month.
"Is there any circumstance, obviously, we're focusing so much on Ukraine, as evidenced by these questions. Is there any circumstance in which the President would hold his announcement of a Supreme Court pick after February?" a reporter asked.
"No," Psaki responded, adding it will declaratively happen before March 1.
