There are nine key senators to watch on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court, Politico reports: Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, Roy Blunt, Rob Portman, Richard Burr, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinama.
Playbook: “Why this group? While Manchin and Sinema can pretty safely be counted as ‘yes’ votes for Dems, some of the Republicans are ‘torn between supporting Jackson’s historic nomination and voting no based on opposition to her judicial philosophy. A few in that group are retiring this year, freeing them from the potential political risks of backing her nomination, although a vote to confirm Jackson would roil the GOP primaries currently underway to replace them.’
