Vice President Kamala Harris: "Strengthen the foundations of our great democracy or let them crumble? Will we move forward or backward? The young leaders of our nation will learn from the experience, the judgment, the wisdom that you, Judge Jackson, will apply in every case that comes before you. And they will see for the first time, four women sitting on that court at one time.

As a point of personal privilege, I will share with you, Jackson, that when I presided over the Senate confirmation vote yesterday, while I was sitting there, I drafted a note to my Goddaughter. And I told her that I felt such a deep sense of pride and joy and about what this moment means for our nation and for her future."
