C-SPAN unearthed this video. Biden is speculating here, there wasn’t a vacancy yet, but Justice Byron White was a Kennedy appointee and leaning towards retirement, which he eventually did in 1993. Biden’s words about how the Senate should respond should be all that Mitch McConnell needs to bolster his position right now.
