Amy McGrath, the Democrat who announced this week she's challenging Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), quickly switched her views on whether or not she would have voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
McGrath first said in an interview with a Kentucky newspaper published Wednesday she would have voted in favor of Kavanaugh's confirmation, but quickly reversed her stance in a tweet after facing backlash for her comments.
"I was asked earlier today about Judge Brett Kavanaugh and I answered based upon his qualifications to be on the Supreme Court. But upon further reflection and further understanding of his record, I would have voted no," McGrath tweeted.
