GOP Senators Told to Be Available This Weekend

“Republican senators have been told they should expect to be in town this weekend to process Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court as he battles sexual misconduct claims,” The Hill reports.

“Republicans have been pushing to install Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court before its new term begins on Monday, though his nomination has yet to advance from the Senate Judiciary Committee.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to Reuters: “We’re going to be moving forward. I’m confident we’re going to win, confident that he’ll be confirmed in the very near future. I believe he’ll be confirmed, yes.”
