The Republican from Utah announced Monday that he would support Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. The three crossover votes Jackson will get from Republicans will come from Romney and Sens. Amy Coney Barrett got three Democratic votes for an appeals court and then zero for the Supreme Court. Since then, both appeals court confirmations and Supreme Court confirmations have become much more routinely contentious (the latter especially so, given the stakes). AdvertisementIn voting to confirm Jackson, Romney replaces Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), who supported her last time around.
