With three Republican senators saying they'll vote for her, Democrats appear to have enough votes for confirmation.
Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is seen here during a meeting with Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, on Capitol Hill on April 5, 2022.
On Monday, the Senate Judiciary Committee reached an 11-11 tie along party lines on the question of whether to advance Jackson's nomination to a vote before the full Senate. Democrats, expecting the deadlock, immediately moved ahead with a procedural step to discharge the nomination to a vote before the full Senate.
Jackson's confirmation fulfills a major campaign promise from President Biden: to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. After graduating from Harvard Law School in 1996, she went on to clerk for Justice Stephen Breyer — who she will replace on the high court when Breyer formally retires this summer.
