Having secured the vote of a Republican senator who was still unsure whether he will vote for Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh the day before, the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote to recommend Kavanaugh on Sept. 28 for a floor vote by the Senate.
Sen. Jeff Flake released a statement shortly before the committee hearing on the morning of Sept. 28 indicating that he will vote to confirm Kavanaugh. Flake had said he was still unsure how he would vote on the night of Sept. 27 following the hearing with testimony by Kavanaugh and his accuser.
