Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed 52-48 eight days before the election, giving conservatives a 6-3 Court majority

The Senate confirmed Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court on October 26, 2020, by a 52-48 vote, eight days before the presidential election and 38 days after her nomination — the fastest confirmation in modern history. Barrett replaced Ruth Bader Ginsburg, shifting the Court to a 6-3 conservative supermajority. No Democrat voted for her confirmation and no Republican voted against except Susan Collins of Maine, who cited the election-year timing.
