The U.S. Senate is closing in on sending Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, which would seal a conservative majority and close a bitterly fought confirmation process that hinged on allegations of sexual misconduct.
The Senate on Friday morning will take a procedural vote that will determine if he has enough support for approval. If it goes in Kavanaugh’s favor, that would all but ensure he’ll be seated on the court, just a week after his prospects were in doubt. On Saturday afternoon, the chamber would hold a final vote.
