“It’s an extraordinary day and I think it’s a very important statement today about who we are as a nation that we put Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on the highest court of our land. So let us all I think rejoice,” she said.
Asked how she’s feels after such a historic vote, she said she’s “overjoyed” and “deeply moved.”
