The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has set a vote on Judge Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court nomination for Wednesday of this week, The Hill reports. The committee proceedings will begin at 1 p.m. EDT. Under committee rules, a majority of the panel, or 12 senators, has to be present in order to report a nomination to the floor. Once that occurs, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, says he will introduce Barrett's nomination on Thursday, which will set up a final vote on the Senate floor for the week of Oct. 26.
