House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn said he believed that would have won the 2016 election had former President nominated a black woman to serve on the Supreme Court. , the No. 3 House pointed to Obama's choice of now Attorney General Merrick Garland to fill the seat of the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia in March 2016 - eight months before the presidential election. 'I'll always believe that if this had been done when Garland's name went up that Hillary Clinton would have been president. All you've got to do is look at voter turnout. Look at Hillary Clinton's turnout,' Clyburn explained. 'I just think the black vote would have been much more incentivized in Michigan, for instance, and other places, that I think would have made a huge difference.'
