Committee vote

The Senate Judiciary Committee met on Thursday, October 22, and voted to send the Barrett nomination to the Senate floor with a favorable recommendation. The committee vote was 12–0, with all 10 Democrats on the committee boycotting the vote. After the vote, the clerk announced, "Mr. Chairman, the votes are 12 yeas, 10 no votes," and Sen. Graham said, "The nomination will be reported favorably to the floor with a unanimous vote."
