A US Senate panel has deadlocked in a vote to approve President Joe Biden’s nominee for the Supreme Court, but she is set to be confirmed anyway later this week.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson would become the first black woman on the nation’s highest judicial body.
The nine-member court is currently split between six Republican-appointed justices and three picked by Democrats.
Judge Jackson would replace Stephen Breyer, another liberal justice.
The Senate judiciary committee, which like the full chamber is evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, voted 11-11 on Monday on whether to back her nomination.
