(CNN)West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin announced on Friday that he plans to vote for President Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, a move that all but guarantees she will be confirmed.
In a statement outlining his decision, Manchin said, "I met with Judge Jackson and evaluated her qualifications to be a Supreme Court Justice. After meeting with her, considering her record, and closely monitoring her testimony and questioning before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, I have determined I intend to vote for her nomination to serve on the Supreme Court."
Manchin's announcement is notable since he is a closely-watched moderate Democrat and key swing vote in the Senate. His decision to vote "yes" helps solidify the vote math for Senate Democrats to confirm the nominee.

Not to worry... It’s just a loony liberal replacing another loony liberal.
Thanks to RBG, the court will remain conservative for another generation or two.
Someone may have something on him.

If Republicans really had the nerve of the Democrats, McConnell would make his caucus all vote NO, all 50 of them.Make Democrats own the optics of the first black woman Vice-President casting the tie-breaking vote to force the first black woman Justice onto the Supreme Court, because she was THAT unacceptable a choice to the representatives of half the states in the union.
Corrupt politicians.
This is Joe Manchin’s Olive Branch to his own party, hoping to make up for having slashed the tires on the Build Back Better bus.
No. Every single person who votes for this racist Communist monster is a filthy scumbag, driving a stake into the coffin of America. Ketanji is trash. Manchin is trash.
Joe planning on retiring at the end of his term?
She wound not be dangerous now but in the future, she could be the difference in continuing the existence of the republic.
I don’t care who the heck you are. Even Manchin shivers and wets his pants when they flash the RACE CARD at him.
2 conservatives, 4 flip floppers and 3 communists do not make a conservative court.
She is an affront to everything America stands for.
From what I understand, Myth Romney and the Abortion Twins will likely vote for her, too.
We all know some of the Assistant Democrats will not be able to resist.
Thanks to RBG, the court will remain conservative for another generation or two.

If this court is “conservative”, then conservatism is in big trouble.
"The Republic Be Damned" is the operating principle of the Democrat/Communist Party.
there was no stopping her once she was nominated. Most Dems agree with her on every issue.
