Senate expected to confirm historic Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson in Thursday vote

April 7 (UPI) -- Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Joe Biden's first nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court and the first Black woman ever put up for the high court bench, is expected to win confirmation in the Senate on Thursday.

Jackson, 51, was nominated in February and has met privately with various senators over the past few weeks. Last month, she underwent questioning for two days before the Senate judiciary committee -- where some Republicans grilled her on her track record and accused her of being soft on crime as a judge.

The committee ultimately passed Jackson's nomination on to the full Senate. The chamber is scheduled to vote on her nomination at 1:45 p.m. EDT Thursday.

"It will be a joyous day. Joyous for the Senate, joyous for the Supreme Court, joyous for America," Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said on Wednesday, according to ABC News.
