Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is set to become the first black woman on the US’s highest judicial body, the Supreme Court.
The nine-member court is currently split between six Republican-appointed justices and three picked by Democrats.
Judge Jackson will replace Stephen Breyer, another liberal justice, who is retiring.
A final vote before the 100-member Senate is expected to confirm her nomination by Friday.
