President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson had three Republican Senators vote for her confirmation to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2021.
Biden nominated Jackson to the D.C. court of appeals last year to replace Attorney General Merrick Garland, and she was confirmed by a vote of 53-44.
The three Republicans who voted for her were Sens. Susan Collins (R-MA), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).
None of them have indicated whether they plan to vote to confirm Jackson to the Supreme Court to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer as Democrats will push to get GOP support in the 50-50 Senate.

Graham, who advocated for Biden to nominate Judge J. Michelle Childs, issued a statement Thursday complaining “the radical Left has won President Biden over yet again.”
“The attacks by the Left on Judge Childs from South Carolina apparently worked,” Graham said Thursday.
Collins called Jackson “an experienced federal judge with impressive academic and legal credentials” in a statement Friday.
“I will conduct a thorough vetting of Judge Jackson’s nomination and look forward to her public hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee and to meeting with her in my office,” Collins said.
While Graham and Collins both voted to confirm both of President Obama’s Supreme Court nominees, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, Murkowski voted no for each.
