Three women have accused the Supreme Court nominee of sexual assault and misconduct heading into the vote.
After a turbulent week of hearings, protests, and an FBI investigation into allegations of sexual assault and misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the Senate on Friday passed an important procedural vote, known as a cloture motion, 51-49. The motion allows the Senate to proceed to the final confirmation vote after 30 hours of debate.
The next step is the final confirmation vote, which will take place sometime this weekend after another 30 hours of Senate debate. All eyes are on a few key swing senators — Republicans Jeff Flake (AZ), Susan Collins (ME), and Lisa Murkowski (AK), and Democrat Joe Manchin (WV) — who could make or break the vote for Kavanaugh.
