• Schumer's schedule appears on track after the Senate voted 53 to 47 to limit debate on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination. This will allow a vote to take place imminently.
• Jackson's confirmation is expected to pass with a slim bi-partisan majority following signals from three Republican Senators that they will vote to confirm.
• The confirmation of Jackson will be considered a significant victory for the Biden administration, especially considering the historic nature of Jackson's nomination, and the difficulty Democrats have faced navigating the 50-50 Senate.
• Schumer: ‘It will be a joyous day: joyous for the Senate, joyous for the Supreme Court, joyous for America. While we still have a long way to go, America tomorrow will take a giant step to becoming a more perfect nation.’
