Democratic senators who have rallied behind Christine Blasey Ford against Brett Kavanaugh are doing the same for a second woman who accused the Supreme Court nominee — though they acknowledge she came forward with some uncertainty about her memory.

Multiple Democrats told POLITICO on Monday that they see Deborah Ramirez's account in The New Yorker as credible — if not airtight — evidence for a case that President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee has a pattern of untoward behavior toward women. They want the Judiciary Committee to postpone Thursday's planned hearing at which Ford and Kavanaugh are set to testify to allow more time to look into Ramirez as well as those made by Ford.

Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) called for an FBI investigation of Ramirez's allegation, which dates to when she and Kavanaugh attended Yale. Coons said he's concerned more accusers might come forward.

“By pushing forward with this Thursday’s hearing, we’re at real risk of not hearing all of the relevant allegations against Judge Kavanaugh,” Coons said. “Any senator who don’t have real concerns about Judge Kavanaugh’s reputation, his integrity, ought to take a step back and reconsider at this point.”
