Sen. Dean Heller believes Brett Kavanaugh will eventually be confirmed to the Supreme Court, despite the "hiccup" over an allegation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted a woman when he was in high school, according to The Nevada Independent.

On a Wednesday call with Republicans, Heller, who is facing a tough re-election race, said he was “grateful” to the White House and President Trump for their efforts and predicted that Trump’s second pick for the Supreme Court will end up on the bench despite a scandal that has forced the Senate Judiciary Committee to postpone a vote on his nomination.

“We got a little hiccup here with the Kavanaugh nomination, we’ll get through this and we’ll get off to the races,” he said during a call arranged by the Nevada Republican Party and reported by The Nevada Independent.
