Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Mitt Romney of Utah said Monday evening they will vote to confirm President Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson. She added: "It also rests on my rejection of the corrosive politicization of the review process for Supreme Court nominees, which, on both sides of the aisle, is growing worse and more detached from reality by the year." Romney, meanwhile, tweeted, "After reviewing Judge Jackson's record and testimony, I have concluded that she is a well-qualified jurist and a person of honor. I congratulate Judge Jackson on her expected confirmation and look forward to her continued service to our nation." Though the vast majority of Senate Republicans are expected to vote to oppose Jackson , she has deepened her support among the GOP with the two lawmakers joining Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine in her pledge last month to support Jackson's confirmation.
