Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination will next be considered by the entire Senate, where Republicans have a narrow 51-49 majority.
While it doesn’t look like the vote is going to take place quite that early, consideration of Kavanaugh’s nomination was previously set to hit the floor on Saturday, when the Senate was set to take a procedural vote.
Due to procedural rules and expected debate on his nomination, that meant he likely wouldn’t get a vote from the full Senate until next Monday or Tuesday. It’s unclear whether this timing is still in place.
