(Reuters) – The White House has tapped three outside advisers who are veterans of politics and communications to help guide U.S. President Joe Biden’s eventual Supreme Court pick through the confirmation process.

The new team will be led by former Alabama Senator Doug Jones, whose selection as the “sherpa” was made public this week.

Biden said that he will name his successor to Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer at the end of February. He also promised to name an African woman to the top court.

Minyon Moore, who served as political director under former president Bill Clinton, is now tasked with building support across the country for Biden’s eventual nominee. Ben LaBolt was the former White House spokesperson for President Barack Obama and will now oversee communication strategy.

“These advisers bring decades of experience to the table and will join the White House team working with the President on the selection of the nation’s first Black woman to the Supreme Court,” the White House said in a statement on Wednesday.

According to the White House, the current in-house advisory team for Biden regarding the nomination process is comprised of Vice President Kamala Harris and White House counsel Dana Remus.
