Judiciary Committee tied on Ketanji Brown Jackson nomination vote

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted on Monday and was deadlocked at 11-11 on sending Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination for a full Senate vote.

New York Sen. Chuck Schumer will motion to discharge and send it to the Senate this week.

"If there are no further comments, I'm favorably reporting  the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to be associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States," said Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin before votes were cast.

"A tie vote was recorded on judge Jackson's nomination to be the associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States... I'll transmit to the secretary of the senate a notice of this tie vote," he said.

The votes went directly down party lines, with Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham saying that had the Republicans been in charge, they would not have given her a hearing if they held the Senate majority.
