Senate Republicans voted to advance the process to confirm Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court in a procedural vote Sunday.
The Senate voted 51-48 to break a Democratic filibuster of Barrett’s nomination, setting up a likely final vote to confirm President Donald Trump’s selection to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Monday.
Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Susan Collins, R-Maine, joined Democrats in voting to maintain the filibuster while Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif, was in Michigan campaigning as the Democratic vice presidential nominee and did not vote.
