Senate Expected to Confirm First Black Woman to the Supreme Court

March 1, 2022

President Biden’s Supreme Court pick, Ketanji Brown Jackson, is expected to be confirmed by the mid-April recess and stands a good chance of picking up bipartisan support to become the first Black woman to serve on the high court.

Jackson will hold her first round of meetings with senators Wednesday when she will sit down with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Judiciary Committee ranking member Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.).

Democrats say their goal is to get her seated on the Supreme Court before the April recess, which begins on April 9. She would replace the retiring liberal Justice Stephen Breyer.
