Senators to watch during confirmation hearings of Brett Kavanugh

written by Jeanine Martin July 10, 2018

Currently the Senate stands at 50 Republicans (John McCain is too ill to participate) and 49 Democrats. A handful of rogue Republicans and Democrats could make the difference in Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Republicans who might vote against Kavanaugh:

Senator Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.  They are both pro abortion and both support Obamacare.  However both voted for Justice Neil Gorsuch, President Trump’s first pick for the court.  Their reactions to the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh. 

Democrat Senators from red states who voted for Trump have a real dilemma.  If they vote against confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh they are likely to anger their Trump supporting voters at home making it likely they will lose their seat, and destroy all hope for Democrats gaining the majority in the Senate. If they vote for confirmation their Democrat base will be unhappy and less likely to turn out to vote for them in December.  Those Democrats are:

John Manchin, West Virginia

Heidi Heitkamp, North Dakota

Claire McCaskill, Missouri

Joe Donnelly, Indiana

Doug Jones, Alabama

John Tester, Montana

Trump is putting pressure on the three Democrats from the most Republican states,  Joe Manchin, Heidi Heitkamp, and Joe Donnelly.

More Senators who might be a problem for Trump here. 

Terrific scorecard on the confirmation here.  

Bottom line, Judge Kavanaugh will be confirmed to the high court.
