Just one week away from the Nov. 3 presidential election, the Senate confirmed Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, in a 52-48 vote on Monday (Oct. 26).
The decision gives conservatives a 6-3 majority on the court, as 48-year-old Barrett fills the vacancy left by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last month at the age of 87. On Sunday (Oct. 25), the Democrats unsuccessfully tried to filibuster the nomination.
