Rand Paul says he will support Supreme Court nominee Brett KavanaughFox News, Jul 30, 2018, Judson Berger
Sen. Rand Paul said Monday that he will support Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh after meeting with him last week.
"I believe he will carefully adhere to the Constitution and will take his job to protect individual liberty seriously," Paul said in a statement.
The Kentucky senator was one of the few Republicans considered a possible swing vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation. Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, also being closely watched.
But with Paul voicing clear support -- and Collins and Murkowski signaling potential support in recent weeks -- Kavanaugh's prospects appear to be improving as GOP leaders aim to engineer a swift confirmation by the fall.
