Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) will reportedly vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS), giving Jackson at least one Republican vote.

Collins told The New York Times that after a March 29 meeting with Jackson, President Joe Biden’s pick to replace outgoing Justice Stephen Breyer, her concerns were alleviated and that she'll give Jackson her support. She is the only Republican to commit to voting for Jackson.
