Mitch McConnell won’t vote Ketanji Brown Jackson into Supreme Court

(KYMA, KECY) - Day four of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson's historic confirmation hearings have wrapped.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has already decided which way he will vote.

He announced his decision on the Senate floor.

"I enjoyed meeting the nominee," Sen. McConnell explained. I went into the Senate process with an open mind, but 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."

The next phase of Jackson's confirmation process is set to begin Monday.

Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee can push back the vote for a week.

That means, the committee is likely to vote on her nomination April 4.

The full Senate vote has not been scheduled yet.

Democrats can confirm Jackson even if no GOP members vote in favor.
