U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar met with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on Thursday, as the U.S. Supreme Court nominee made the rounds on Capitol Hill in advance of confirmation hearings later this month.
Klobuchar, a Democrat who serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in an interview that she expects Jackson will ultimately be confirmed with bipartisan support, as she has been for previous positions that required Senate confirmation.
"I'm not the Pollyanna — it's always contentious, these hearings — but I do think she's going to get some bipartisan support," Klobuchar said. "And that makes it a lot easier for the final vote; you don't need a tiebreaker, and things like that."
