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.
