After that, Schumer said he expected a final vote to confirm Jackson to take place around 1:45 p.m., depending on how long senators want to speak before the vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have reached an agreement for the Senate to conclude the confirmation process of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson tomorrow,\u201d Schumer said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will be a joyous day. Joyous for the Senate, joyous for the Supreme Court, joyous for America,\u201d he added. \u201cAmerica tomorrow will take a giant step to becoming a perfect nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jackson\u2019s confirmation vote will hand President Biden and Senate Democrats a significant win and mark the pinnacle of their efforts to put their own stamp on the federal judiciary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Though Justice Stephen Breyer has said he will not retire until the summer, Thursday\u2019s vote will also cap off a weeks-long sprint since Biden nominated Jackson to be Breyer\u2019s successor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jackson\u2019s confirmation will be historic on multiple fronts. In addition to being the first Black woman on the Supreme Court, she will be the first justice to have been a public defender.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>Thursday\u2019s vote means that Republicans agreed to speed up her confirmation. Under Senate rules, GOP senators could have delayed a final vote until Friday by requiring an additional 30 hours of debate. But top Republicans indicated earlier Wednesday that their caucus would yield back some time, as senators are eager to leave for a two-week break.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"thehill-promo-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/news\/senate\/3261099-democrats-make-last-ditch-effort-to-ban-stock-trading-by-lawmakers\/\" class=\"thehill-promo-link__link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\tDemocrats make last-ditch effort to ban stock trading by lawmakers\u00a0\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/news\/3261265-uks-johnson-says-biological-males-should-not-compete-in-female-sports\/\" class=\"thehill-promo-link__link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\tUK\u2019s Johnson says \u2018biological males\u2019 should not compete in female sports\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>Though Jackson\u2019s nomination included moments of high-profile tension with GOP senators, she was widely expected from the outset to be confirmed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Democrats could confirm her on their own as long as all 50 members of their caucus support her, as is expected. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to all Democrats, three GOP senators will vote for Jackson on Thursday: Sens.
