Donald Trump joined Brett Kavanaugh for his formal investiture ceremony at the Supreme Court on Thursday, marking the achievement of a signature campaign promise to put conservative judges on the bench.

Trump repeatedly invoked Kavanaugh’s bitter confirmation battle and the controversy over sexual assault accusations against the justice to rally his followers to vote in the midterm congressional elections on Tuesday. Kavanaugh’s appointment, Trump’s second to the high court, has created the most conservative Supreme Court bench in generations.
