Sen. Ted Cruz said the confirmation of federal judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court is all but certain.
During a Washington Post Live interview on Tuesday, the Texan Republican said Republicans in the Senate "have the votes" to confirm Barrett, who he called a "substantive and scholarly" choice for the top court in the land.
"We'll get it done," Cruz said. "Two Republicans have publicly expressed concern, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski. Assuming they vote no, and I don't know that either one has actually put in concrete that they will vote, but even if they vote no, as I see it, we have a solid 51 votes right now."
