The U.S. Senate has voted to appoint a black woman named Ketanji Brown Jackson as the new judge of the prestigious U.S. Supreme Court. Ketanji Brown Jackson won the poll by a margin of 53-47, led by Kamala Harris. This confirms her appointment as a judge of the US Supreme Court.

Stephen Fryer, currently a U.S. Supreme Court judge, is due to retire in a few days. Earlier, US President Joe Biden approved the appointment of Jackson as a judge last year. However, Democrats opposed the appointment of Jackson as a Supreme Court judge. It was thus announced that a referendum would be held and a decision would be taken on its basis. In this case, Jackson won the referendum in the Senate.

Ketanji Brown Jackson, 51, is currently serving as a judge in a Washington court. She holds a bachelor's degree from Harvard College and a law degree from Harvard Law School. Not only that, but Jackson is a close friend of former US President Barack Obama. Because of this, Jackson, a Republican supporter, was appointed District Judge in 2010 by then-US President Barack Obama.
