Eastern at 6:32 p.m.NORAH O’DONNELL: We are going to begin here in our nation’s capitol because today we had a front-row seat to something that has never happened in our nation’s history. It will change America’s lives for many decades. The U.S. Senate voted today to confirm Judge Ketanji Jackson as a lifetime member of the country’s highest court. In its history of 233 year, the Supreme Court has addressed one the most critical issues in America. Its decisions have had a significant impact on our lives every day. However, the Supreme Court hasn’t represented all Americans. Biden has promised to fix that. He nominated Judge Jackson six weeks ago in the most significant decision a President could make. Drei Republican Senators voted for Mitt Romney, a Utahn who broke from their party. Susan Collins, Maine. Lisa Murkowski, Alaska. There are many other firsts. This will mark the debut of two black justices on the Supreme Court simultaneously, as well as the introduction of four female justices to the Supreme Court.

Eastern: 7:01 p.m.LESTER HOLT (English): Hello, everybody. At the United States Capitol, today’s United States Capitol saw the intersection of history and America’s racial past. Kamala Harris, the nation’s first female Vice President of Black Women presided over Ketanji Jackson’s Senate confirmation vote to make her the country’s first African woman Supreme Court Justice. Jackson was elected to succeed Justice Stephen Breyer. The vote resulted in a 53-47 split with three Republicans and all Democrats voting aye. Jackson hugged President Biden during her confirmation celebration at the White House. They watched as the election was conducted together. It was a moment of full circle for President Obama, who pledged as a candidate that he would nominate a woman from the black community to the court. A curious delay nearly ruined this moment.
