Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) expressed optimism about the chances of Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.

McConnell made the remarks after he and others in the GOP leadership had lunch with Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a potential swing vote to put Kavanaugh on the high court.

“We’re heading toward a final vote tomorrow, and I’m optimistic,” he told NBC News.

Senate Majority Leader McConnell after lunch with Republican leaders and Sen. Collins: “We’re heading toward a final vote tomorrow, and I’m optimistic.”

— NBC Politics (@NBCPolitics) October 5, 2018 Senators voted 51-49 to end debate on Kavanaugh’s nomination, setting up a confirmation vote for Saturday afternoon. Three potential swing votes, Sens. Collins, Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) all voted “yes.” Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) was the lone Republican defection.

“I have been wrestling with whether or not this was about the qualifications of a good man or is this bigger than the nominee and I believe we are dealing with issues right now that are bigger than a nominee,” Murkowski told reporters after the vote.

The Senate will ultimately vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation Saturday in all likelihood.

What Republicans hoped would be a smooth confirmation hearing was thrown into tumult after three women went public with allegations of sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh while he was in high school and college.

Why is she even bothering to make an announcement in the first place?

What type of brain damage did Collins suffer to make her speak like she does?
