’Needs to get 60 votes, since committee was 11-11,

Can you help with that? Is that a Senate procedural thing which can be altered, or is it something more iron clad?

My understanding...

Schumer and McConnell made a powersharing agreement, since the Senate was evenly divided.

Each party got 50% of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

If a nominee gets more than 50% of the vote, they go to the whole floor and it only takes 51 votes.

If a nominee cannot get a majority, the leader Schumer can still send it to the floor of the full senate, but now it needs 60 votes.

My understanding, and I could be wrong...
