with me in studio to share the reporting and insights, kaitlan collins, cnn legal analyst and mary katherine hamm with the federalist. it is every day is unusual in this administration. but in this hearing, to have a democratic senator openly break the rules and say expel me, go for it, because i believe this process is warped. you're a yvetveteran of the hil. does corey booker -- is brett kavanaugh in anymore peril today? when he woke up this morning, no indication any republican was moving. that's all it takes. has the wall been cracked? >> i think that booker said bring it, by the way. wasn't that his quote? >> yeah. >> i honestly in judging this right now, i would say, no. but the democrats have done a few things. they have -- i think they have dinged him up a bit. from where they thought the republicans thought they would be at this hearing. i think they have needed to show to fight. the last hearing, judge gorsuch, when he was nominated, the confirmation hearing, not much happened. the democrats were quiet. i wouldn't say they rolled over but they didn't put up much of a fight. this ti

collins was followed through the airport by reporters, and so many were pressed today, where do they stand on the accusations and what should happen tonight? mary bruce on the hill, asking the questions tonight. >> reporter: for 24 hours, the pressure has been building on republican senators like susan collins. all eyes on her as she arrived back in washington, saying she had read the letter by brett kavanau kavanaugh's accuser. >> i did read the letter last week and asked the judge in a telephone conversation on friday about it and he was very emphatic and -- in his denial. >> reporter: today, collins became the first republican to call for kavanaugh and christine blasey ford to appear on capitol hill, fweeting "they should both testify under oath before the judiciary committee." later, collins swarmed by reporters. is the allegation disqualifying? how do you adjudicate something that's almost 40 years old? >> well, that's why impoanthathere be thorough interview and that we see both individuals respond to the allegations. there are an awful lot of questions, inconsistencies, gaps. obviously, if judge kavanaugh has lied about what happened, th

collins and lisa murkowski. >> i think it was a good step today. thank you. >> mary bruce live with us back on the hill tonight. mary, just moments ago, dr. christine blasey ford's lawyer responding to today's stunning development and her lawyer said she welcomes this step in the process. she appreciates the efforts of senator flake and all of the other senators who have supported an fbi investigation. but david, she said there should be no artificial limits on time and scope of this investigation. >> mary, thank you. >>> president trump had just learned about that dramatic turn when reporters were brought into the oval office today. moments before, senator flake had called for that one-week delay for the fbi to investigate these allegations. the president, of course, was quickly asked about it. this was his first reaction. >> senator flake, he wants a one-week delay so the fbi can investigate further. >> i'll let the senate handle that. i'll learn more about it as the day goes on. i just heard about it. >> what did you think of dr. ford's testimony when you heard th

mary bruce on capitol hill tonight where protesters are demanding one senator take a stand, senator susan collins. >> we believe debbie ramirez! >> reporter: for key republican senator susan collins, the political pressure today came right to her doorstep. >> we believe dr. ford! >> reporter: protesters demanding she vote no on brett kavanaugh or else. >> we believe she can do the right thing. and if she doesn't, we're going to replace her. >> reporter: even before a second accuser came out alleging sexual misconduct by kavanaugh, collins said she wouldn't be rushed. >> do i feel pressure, sure. but i don't feel pressure to make a decision until i'm ready. and by the way, there are, like, seven of us that are undecided, it's not just me. >> reporter: democrats tonight are demanding the senate hit the brakes on kavanaugh's nomination. >> both of these women are bravely coming forward with allegations that i think the judiciary committee should hear and hear fully. >> reporter: but republicans are plowing ahead. orrin hatch says the latest allegations are, quote, phony. >> well, it's amazing to me

collins, heidi heitkamp. this provides cover. >> it provides cover. the democrats are obviously throwing a hail marypeople will come out. >> neil: this won't be part of that. >> if you can put the pressure on them that more stuff is coming out it, may embarrass susan collins and murkowski, one of those, manchin to say listen, there is too much. >> neil: if no one has come forward and haven't gotten corroboration under the routine methods used by the committee, who is to say the fbi mimics exactly what the committee. >> that's probably what's going to happen. i can just tell you what i know from inside where people are saying in washington democrats, this is hail mary, they are hoping a lot somebody else some more people come up. more smoke than a fire and murkowskior one of those people chicken out. >> neil: we shall see. all these breaking developments here whole world can change by tomorrow morning at this time. noon. eastern time looking at this latest political maneuverings here whether, for example, this commands on the part of, you know, the leaders for the republican party that everyone stay

abc's mary bruce back on the hill tonight, are those senators listening to their constituents on both sides back home? >> reporter: from the moment republicans like senator susan collins arrived back in washington, they have been under increasing pressure. >> do you believe the accuser? >> i don't know enough to make a judgement at this point. >> reporter: but now, those same republicans are turning up the pressure on christine blasey ford. >> there's a week, more than a week, between when she made the allegations and the date of the hearing, which was slated for next monday. i just don't understand why the hearing shouldn't go forth. >> reporter: collins noting ford has been told she could testify in private. >> i don't think that she can reject all those options, because otherwise, there are these very serious allegations hanging over the head of a nominee who has emphatically denied them. and that's just not a good way for us to end. >> reporter: senator jeff flake, another key republican, tweeting, "i now implore dr. ford to accept the invitation for monday. the committee should hear her voice." tonight, the message from gop leaders to ford, "show up or we're head

. >> the question, mary bruce, at this point, that delay of a week, the one that chris coons laid on the table, is that going to appeal to senator murkowski, senator collins? >> it will be interesting to see how that falls with them. i mean, certainly it seems like they've wanted a lot of time to digest these testimonies that we've heard here today, that seems to be the impression that we were getting from them before today, that they wanted to take these allegations seriously, one would imagine they would want plenty of time to absorb them. but we have not heard any reaction from them. and it is very clear that republicans want to move this thing along. mitch mcconnell clearly very eager to stick to his original plan to hold this vote very soon. >> in fact, i texted with something in senator mcconnell's office during the last round of questions, mary, he said the vote is still scheduled for tomorrow. >> we've seen no change in that whatsoever. and we heard from lindsey graham, he thinks the vote should be held, other republicans on the committee who seem perfectly happy to move forward with that vote. so far, no change. that vote, right now, still on the

attesting to his integrity and crucial swing vote senator susan collins met with him but stayed mum so far. it might have been a last minute hail mary by the democrats but all signs post to republicans pressing forward with kavanaugh's nomination with the judiciary committee vote still set for next week. we'll be back in two minutes. why bother mastering something? why test a hybrid engine for over six million miles? why hand-tune an audio system? why include the most advanced active safety system in its class, standard? because when you want to create an entirely new feeling, the difference between excellence and mastery, is all the difference in the world. introducing the all-new lexus es. every curve. every innovation. every feeling. a product of mastery. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. of america, we use diagnostic tools that help us better understand what drives each person's cancer. like christine bray. after battling ovarian cancer for several years, her test results revealed a drug therapy that targeted her tumor. today, christine's metastatic cancer is in remission. we're not just fighting cancer. we're outsmarting

mary bruce on capitol hill. >> reporter: from the moment republicans like senator susan collins arrived back in washington, theyo you believe the accuser? >> i don't know enough to make a judgement at this point. >> reporter: but now those same republicans are turning up the pressure on christine blasey ford. >> there is a week between -- more than a week between when she made the allegations and the date of the hearing, which was slated for next monday. i just don't understand why the hearing shouldn't go forward. >> reporter: collins noting ford has been told she could testify in private. >> i don't think she can reject all those options because otherwise there are these very serious allegations hanging over the head of a nominee who has emphatically denied them. that's just not a good way for us to end. >> reporter: senator jeff flake, another key republican, tweeting, i now implore dr. ford to accept the invitation for monday. the committee should hear her voice. the message from gop leaders to ford, show up or we're heading for a vote. >> she said she wanted to appear, but if she changes her mind and refus

obviously it's a hail mary to try to get and convince some republicans like susan collins and lisa murkowskiny of this is working, and for the most part, after looking at those hearings, i don't think that democrats laid a glove on him that much at all. stuart: you know, you really should go to the state department to become a diplomat. because you couch your phraseology so well. good stuff. now let's get to that anonymous op-ed in the "new york times." an hour ago, i asked larry kudlow if he wrote it. listen to what he said. >> why would i? i have spent the better part of the last two plus years helping president trump develop the very policies that he's been promulgating on taxes and regulation and trade reforms. guess what? the policies are working. stuart: well, i kind of asked the question tongue in cheek, but he took it very seriously, said it was absolutely not me, let's talk about growth. but what do you make of the "new york times," wonderful newspaper, broad coverage, what are they doing running an anonymous op-ed like this? they seem to have become the paper of resistance. >> it i

marie harf. what is your opinion? >> well, i did think that there seem to be a moment for judge kavanaugh. we are still waiting on collinss a question of how they viewed the testimony. i would disagree with laura a little bit. i think there is righteous indignation, and if we are accused of something that we don't believe we did, we would be angry, but i think a lot of people, especially speaking about the midterms, bill, independent women who are already think the republican party, they watched yesterday, i think it, and saw a man who was angry. he had rage. he cut off female senators, he was dismissive of the process. ramming through that confirmation bill. >> bill: you saw a man who was fighting for his life and fighting for his family. i saw a man who walked in yesterday with his wife and son listen, if you're going to burn down my house, i'm going to burn down yours as well. it was pointed, and many have suggested that supreme court nominees do not get political. his commentary was clearly directed at democrats for what he has gone through for the last several weeks. >> we went into that hearing saying he's going to
