Just as Thursday’s hearing gaveled to a close, President Trump took to Twitter to demand an immediate Senate vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination, tweeting, “Judge Kavanaugh showed America exactly why I nominated him. His testimony was powerful, honest, and riveting.” Republican Senate leaders are poised to hold a vote this morning after they reconvene the Senate Judiciary Committee at 9:30 a.m.; a vote by the full Senate could come as early as this weekend or Monday or Tuesday.
