TL;DR

Justice Sonia Sotomayor has no plans to resign from the U.S. Supreme Court before President Biden's term ends, despite some Democrats' hopes for her to step down to allow Biden to appoint a successor. At 70, Sotomayor is in good health and remains an active participant in the court's work. She has expressed her commitment to continue serving, resisting public pressure to retire, which could further politicize the court. The situation echoes concerns from Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's late retirement, which allowed former President Trump to appoint a successor.
