Kavanaugh Passes Key Procedural Senate Vote After Vigorous Debate

Kavanaugh received enough votes to advance to nomination.

Notably, GOP swing vote Lisa Murkowski of Alaska - who Dianne Feinstein gave a "Talking to" in the Senate hallway last week - voted no, while Jeff Flake and Joe Manchin voited yes.

The final vote to confirm Kavanaugh will be held on Saturday.

The Senate is voting on whether to formally end debate on Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court.

If 51 vote to stop debate, Kavanaugh could be confirmed as soon as Saturday.

On Friday morning, CNN reported that a third GOP holdout, Susan Collins of Maine, would vote "Yes" during the procedural vote, while CNN's Manu Raju reports that Republicans believe they will have enough Senators by the 10:30 vote.

She then will be speaking on the Senate floor at 3pm about her final vote.
