GOP Senators Think Collins Will Back Kavanaugh

“Republican senators are confident that Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) will announce her support for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Friday afternoon, after days of talking to her about her concerns,” The Hill reports.

“GOP senators swarmed around Collins after a key procedural vote Friday morning, in which Collins voted to advance the nominee to an up-or-down vote on Saturday. She cast her vote shortly after saying she would announce her position on Kavanaugh during a 3 p.m. floor speech on Friday.”

CNBC reports that Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) will vote to confirm Kavanaugh.
