The Senate has just voted to confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court of the United States. The final vote count was 54-45, with three Democratic senators — Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Heidi Heitkamp of the North Dakota, and Joe Manchin of West Virginia — joining the GOP senators to vote in favor of confirmation. The vote came one day after the Senate voted to alter the 60-vote threshold for invoking cloture on the nomination of a Supreme Court justice, allowing the GOP to end debate with a simple majority.

Vice President Mike Pence presided over today’s confirmation vote. President Donald Trump still needs to act to officially appoint Gorsuch, which could happen later today. Gorsuch is not a justice until that appointment occurs.
