Republicans control the Senate by a 51-49 margin, reported the Huffington Post. No
Republicans have said they will vote against Kavanaugh, although four have not
committed to supporting him.
Comments by two of them - Jeff Flake and Susan Collins -
indicated the FBI report, which was the latest twist in the pitched political
battle over Kavanaugh, may have allayed their concerns about him. Flake, a
frequent Trump critic, was instrumental in getting the president to order the
FBI investigation last Friday.
Collins said the FBI investigation appeared to be thorough.
Flake said he saw no additional corroborating information against Kavanaugh,
although he was “still reading” it. Another undecided Republican, Senator Lisa
Murkowski, did not offer her view on the FBI report.
Cory Gardner, a Republican from Colorado, wants to finish
reading the report before he makes a decision, his spokesman Casey Contres told
the Denver Post. Gardner’s spokesman did not respond to a request for comment
from Reuters.
While the comments by Flake and Collins were positive,
neither explicitly announced support for Kavanaugh.
