Mitch McConnell Says He Will Vote Against Confirming Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to SCOTUS

HeadlineMar 25, 2022

Back in the United States, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday he will oppose the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell: “And nothing we saw this week convinced me that either President Biden or Judge Jackson’s deeply invested far-left fan club have misjudged her. I will vote against this nominee on the Senate floor.”

Democrats hope to confirm Judge Jackson by April 8, when lawmakers are scheduled to take a two-week break. The Senate can confirm Jackson without any Republican support if all 50 Democrats vote in her favor.
