McConnell says he went into the confirmation process with an “open mind.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Thursday he will not vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, as Republicans largely voice opposition to President Joe Biden’s nominee. “After studying the nominee’s record and watching her performance this week, I cannot and will not support Judge Jackson for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court,” McConnell said. Despite a lack of Republican support, Jackson appears well on her way to being confirmed by April 8, when the Senate is scheduled to take a two-week break.
