“Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are opening the door to the panel voting on Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination this week,” The Hill reports.

“Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), a member of the Judiciary Committee, told reporters he would defer to Grassley on the timing of the vote but ‘Friday would be possible.'”

Washington Post: “Antsy and impatient, President Trump called Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Saturday with an unmistakable message: Call the vote on Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, and call it soon.”
