senator lisa murkowski who said no i'm not going to vote for mr kevin for very specific reasons then jeff flake the other senator who had a little bit of wiggle room or where people were not sure what direction he will vote so i am for mr cavanaugh and now susan collins does that joe manchin the last surprise democrats who is now leaving the fold and is going to go in to vote for mr cavanaugh so it's a slam dunk for the republicans and make no mistake this is a huge win for the president and for the white house right behind me for president trump because now he can go out on the campaign trail and say i told you so i'll bring my people through with who i nominate and there you go you have it made protest outside the status of been chanting november is coming. yes you have a battle cry of the left or of the grooves active groups who are leaning towards democrats or to the left. make no mistake the key word here is women we're living in the times of the me too movement and there are many many many women who are specifically living in urban areas rich in populous those urban areas in am

that the republicans have it there will be fifty one senators voting in the senate tomorrow for mr kevin all this is fifty republicans and here we go one democrat joe manchin he is the one who left the flock the democratic flock and announced via tweets just a few moments ago that he will vote also for mr cavanaugh and with this mr kevin all can brief and rest a little bit live and assure us that he will be a nother judge or a justice associates on the supreme court for decades to come now there were some surprises amongst today's votes within the. yeah you can say that in the building behind me for weeks now the place and. the place for drama and outright thriller with this confirmation and nomination bret kevin all the surprise was lisa murkowski she came out on the g.o.p. senator lisa murkowski who said no i'm not going to vote for mr cavanaugh for very specific reasons then jeff flake the other senator who had a little bit of wiggle room or where people were not sure what direction he will vote so i am for mr cavanaugh and now susan collins there's that joe manchin the last surprise

here tomorrow and saturday if she says she's voting against the nomination of mr or confirmation of mr kevin all then it's getting a little bit more complicated but she had lunch with the g.o.p. leadership and the g.o.p. leadership mitch mcconnell came out and said he'd slow cooking positive fully into the future so he's confident that he gets the vote off miss collins and with that mr kavanagh's fate will be he will be the next or another supreme court judge but that all waiver of those talk us through the. republican senators and which way they are likely to go. yeah the waivers were jeff flake that's the senator you remember who was confronted in the elevator very impressively by two women by two survivors of sexual assault he already announced that he will actually vote for the confirmation of mr brett kavanaugh so there is no weakening anymore. by jeff flake lisa murkowski the g.o.p. senator from alaska she also came out with a decisive statement and said she will vote against mr cavanaugh so the question is and the wiggle room here is with susan collins who is speaking right now and wh
