Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed as an associate justice of the Supreme Court by the Senate late Oct. 26, handing President Donald Trump another judicial victory ahead of the Nov. 3 election.

A little over an hour after the vote, Barrett was sworn in during a ceremony at the White House as the 115th associate justice on the Supreme Court and the fifth woman to serve on the bench.
