Wisconsin’s two senators will split their votes along party lines on the confirmation of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson.
Democrat Tammy Baldwin said Jackson is well-qualified and offers strong experience as a federal judge.
Republican Ron Johnson released a statement saying while Judge Jackson “is a decent person with a compelling life story,” she is a judicial activist and he won’t vote for her confirmation.
A final confirmation vote could come as soon as Thursday, and Jackson is expected to become the first Black woman to serve on the high court.
