The Senate voted 51-48 to end debate on a largely party-line vote. The vote to confirm Barrett is expected to be 52-48. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) was out campaigning on Sunday and was absent for the vote.
Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) voted against the procedural motion.
In a speech on the Senate floor on Saturday, Murkowski explained that she opposed rushing to confirm Barrett but will support the confirmation of the excellent Supreme Court nominee.
