The House Judiciary GOP Twitter account, which is the committee that Jordan chairs, noted the irony in the fact that today is Hillary Clinton’s birthday, tweeting out well wishes to her.

Prior to the vote, Democratic Vice Presidential nominee and Sen. Kamala Harris (Ca.) tweeted, “I’m on my way to the Senate floor to vote no on Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court.”

“Health coverage for millions of people hinges on who fills this seat. It’s clear that this nominee has the potential to do great harm to the American people,” she added.
