So far, just three Democrats have said they will vote for President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee while the majority of Democrats oppose Neil Gorsuch. That puts Democrats close to the 41 that would force Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to change Senate rules this week, scrapping the 60-vote threshold to ensure confirmation of Gorsuch with just a simple majority in the 100-seat chamber.

All 52 Republicans back the nominee.
