Dems Seize on Losing Campaign Issue Ahead of 2020
Republicans cheer renewed focus on Kavanaugh
Brent Scher - September 17, 2019 5:00 AM
In a bad year for Republicans, the GOP successfully used Brett Kavanaugh's contentious Supreme Court confirmation as a rallying call ahead of last year's midterm elections. But Democratic presidential candidates are running headlong into the issue ahead of the 2020 presidential election regardless.
Reporting from a pair of New York Times reporters on new—though hazy and unsubstantiated—sexual assault allegation has thrust Kavanaugh back in the news. Several leading Democratic candidates for president quickly seized on the report, now revised to note that the alleged victim of the assault doesn't recall the incident, to call for Kavanaugh's impeachment from the Court.
Senators Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) and Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) said Kavanaugh should be impeached based on the information. They were joined by Julián Castro, Beto O'Rourke, Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.), and Pete Buttigieg. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) did not directly call for impeachment but said he supports "any appropriate constitutional mechanism to hold him accountable." Former vice president Joe Biden and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.) were the only major candidates not to voice support for impeachment, with both instead saying more investigation is needed.
