On April 4, 2022, the Senate voted to discharge Jackson's nomination from the Judiciary Committee with a vote of 53–47, with three Republicans (Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitt Romney) joining all 50 members of the Democratic caucus to pass the motion.[64] A discharge vote was necessary because of the tied vote in the Judiciary Committee. This was first time that the Senate has discharged the Judiciary Committee from consideration of a Supreme Court nomination since 1853.[65]
Confirmation On April 7, 2022, the Senate invoked cloture on her nomination by a 53–47 vote with the same senators voting "yea".[66] She was subsequently confirmed by the same margin with once again the same senators voting "yea".[67]
