The Senate voted to reconvene for a Saturday session as Republicans push to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court and solidify a conservative majority in the face of Democrat efforts to prevent the confirmation before Nov. 3.

On Saturday, senators will begin several days of debate on whether to approve the appeals court judge nominated by President Donald Trump, despite Democrat senators trying to slow the process through several votes on Friday.
