A Democrat senator suggested that if President Donald Trump withdraws Brett Kavanaugh's nomination, Democrats could hold the Supreme Court seat open until after the 2020 election.
"The world does not come to an end because we don't [approve] all of the nominees," Sen. Mazie Hirono said.
Senator Hirono: If Kavanaugh's nomination is withdrawn, Democrats could hold the Supreme Court seat open until after the 2020 election.
Hirono's comments come in the same week as an accusation of sexual misconduct levelled at the Supreme Court nominee by Christine Blasey Ford, a California professor of psychology in Palo Alto.
When asked whether or not the Senate would confirm Kavanaugh in light of the accusation, Hirono told.
Asked about other potential nominees Trump might pick if Kavanaugh withdrew, Hirono said, "There are plenty of people on the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation's list. I don't think we'd be looking to the Federalist Society or Heritage Foundation for people that we can support."
Hirono told the podcast she hoped the Senate would receive a nominee other than Kavanaugh, "Somebody much more acceptable."
