All 50 Senate Democrats including two independents are expected to support Jackson’s confirmation. 

GOP Senator Susan Collins of Maine said last week she would vote for Jackson’s confirmation, which gives her enough support to be approved to serve a lifetime term on the nation’s highest court. If confirmed, she will be the first Black woman appointed to the Supreme Court.

On Monday, Jackson’s nomination was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee in an 11-11 tie.
