The Senate Judiciary Committee will meet on April 4 to vote on Jackson's nomination to the Supreme Court, which would make her the first black woman to serve on the high court.

Biden told reporters at the White House that this is one of the most qualified nominees ever nominated for the Supreme Court. Totally, thoroughly qualified, and will be a great addition to the court.

The Senate Judiciary Committee will be back in session on April 4. Jackson's nomination to the full floor will be advanced by a vote.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer wants to hold a final confirmation vote before the Senate goes on a break for Easter.

Jackson was confirmed to her current seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by the Senate in a 53-44 vote.

It seems unlikely that Graham will vote for Jackson again, given his attacks on her during last week's confirmation hearings. Both Collins and Murkowski are moderates who are not members of the Judiciary Committee.

If Jackson is confirmed, there is no need for Republicans to vote for her. If the Democrats are united in their support, Vice President Harris would cast the tie-breaking vote.

According to a recent Gallup poll, a majority of Americans think the Senate should vote in favor of Jackson as a Supreme Court justice. John Roberts was the only current Chief Justice who had a higher level of support as a nominee.

According to the new poll, 85% of Democrats, 45% of independents and 31% of Republicans think that the Senate should vote to confirm Jackson. A majority of Republicans are against her candidacy.
