Collins, Murkowski Signal Comfort with Kavanaugh

President Trump “could have done a lot worse than Brett Kavanaugh, according to Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins,” Politico reports.

“The centrist GOP senators offered few hints on Tuesday about how they will vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. But it’s clear that Trump could have made confirmation in the narrowly divided Senate much more difficult if he had picked someone like 7th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Amy Coney Barrett or another equally conservative nominee.”
