Judicial Crisis Network’s Chief Counsel and Policy Director Carrie Severino comments on the meetings with Senators Donnelly (D-IN) and Heitkamp (D-ND) and President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Kavanaugh
“To their credit, Senators Donnelly, Heitkamp, and Manchin have all met with Judge Kavanaugh. However, the real test will come after Judge Kavanaugh’s hearing when they will need to decide how they’ll vote. Will they be the independent-minded senators they claim to be, or the Schumer lackeys their constituents fear they are? None of these senators can afford to ignore polling showing clear support for Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation in their states.”
Carrie Severino is available for further comment.
