WASHINGTON — Republicans know they’re not likely to keep Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson off the Supreme Court — but that won’t stop 2024 presidential hopefuls who sit on the Senate’s judiciary panel from trying to create ad-worthy moments for themselves this week at her confirmation hearing.
Some of the most probable presidential or vice presidential candidates in the next election sit on the committee, and Jackson’s hearing will give them ample opportunity to raise their political profiles.
“I can’t imagine they wouldn’t always take that occasion,” said Sen. Mitt Romney, who represents Utah and was the 2012 GOP nominee for president.
