Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is fulfilling his promise to “plow through” and confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
McConnell just finished having lunch with Susan Collins, the RINO Senator from Maine who is waffling on her support for Kavanaugh.
McConnell says he’s “optimistic” after lunching with Collins.
Susan Collins is expected to announced her decision shortly.
The Senate Majority Leader filed cloture to end debate very late Wednesday night and held the procedural vote to advance the nomination on Kavanaugh Friday morning.
McConnell is working overtime to make sure he has the votes when the Senate votes Saturday evening.
