Ketanji Brown Jackson courts Republicans, though Romney likely won't make decision known until 'day of the vote'
CNN
Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson met with two closely watched Republican senators on Tuesday -- Mitt Romney of Utah and Susan Collins of Maine -- but it is still unclear whether she will win any GOP support.
Senate Democrats can confirm Jackson to the high court without Republican support if every member of their caucus votes in favor, which appears on track to happen, and Vice President Kamala Harris breaks a tie. But if Democrats can win GOP support, they will be able to tout the confirmation as bipartisan.
Romney told reporters on Tuesday, though, that he doesn't expect to reveal his decision until the day of the confirmation vote.
