2:46Now PlayingJudge Ketanji Brown Jackson has been confirmed as the first Black woman to sit on the Supreme Court, but that's not the only reason she's making history.
RELATEDSenate debates nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court
The Senate confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court Thursday afternoon, making her the 116th justice – and first Black woman – to serve on the nation's highest court. The Senate confirmed her 53-47 in a historic vote with three Republicans – Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Mitt Romney of Utah joining every member of the Democratic caucus in voting for her confirmation.
President Joe Biden nominated Jackson in February, after Associate Justice Stephen Breyer announced he would retire at the end of the current court term. Jackson will wait months to take her seat on the bench until Breyer officially steps down.
