Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), the only Democratic senator to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh, said he will not vote to confirm a Supreme Court nominee selected by President Donald Trump before the November election.

“It is simply irresponsible to rush the adequate and proper vetting required of any new candidate for the bench,” he said in a statement.
