Democrats are launching a whirlwind of votes and Senate floor action Monday with the goal of confirming Ketanji Brown Jackson.

The Senate Judiciary Committee kicks off Monday morning with a vote on whether to move Jackson's nomination to the Senate floor. Democrats will then wind the nomination through the 50-50 Senate, with a final vote in sight for President Joe Biden's pick to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer.

The Judiciary panel could deadlock on Monday's vote, 11-11, meaning Democrats will have to spend additional hours on the Senate floor to"discharge" her nomination from committee. While it won't delay the process for long, it's another blow for Democrats who had hoped to confirm Jackson with bipartisan support.

Either way, Democrats are ready to spend time on the discharge Monday afternoon, if necessary. The Senate would then move to a series of procedural steps before a final confirmation vote later in the week.
