据媒体披露,三名共和党参议员,Flake, Murkowski and Collins是提名通过的关键票,他们的赞成是否将决定卡瓦诺提名表决的成败。如果在表决前,他们就表明和其他共和党人并肩作战,共和党主导投票如期通过应该不是问题;但如果这三位参议员临阵倒戈,共和党是否还要一意孤行呢,那就要看川普的态度和决心了。
“Judge Kavanaugh showed America exactly why I nominated him,” Trump said in a tweet posted at the conclusion of the judge’s interrogation. “His testimony was powerful, honest, and riveting. Democrats’ search and destroy strategy is disgraceful and this process has been a total sham and effort to delay, obstruct, and resist. The Senate must vote!”
President Donald Trump on Saturday turned his embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh into a rallying cry for Republicans to vote in November, saying they can help reject the "ruthless and outrageous tactics" he says Democrats used against the judge.
