Heidi Heitkamp is a Democrat Senator from North Dakota who is getting crushed by the Republican challenger. 

Donald Trump won North Dakota in 2016.

If Heitkamp wants even the smallest chance of retaining her seat, she’ll certainly have to vote to confirm SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

In North Dakota, a new poll was taken of likely voters after the allegations of sexual misconduct by Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh became public which shows the incumbent Democrat Sen. Heidi Heitkamp down 10 points to challenger Rep. Kevin Cramer. If this Democratic seat is lost in the mid-term elections, it would be very difficult for the Democrats to regain control of the Senate.

Likewise, Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill is losing her race in Missouri – another state Trump won.

These Senators have a tough decision to make.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made a speech on the Senate floor on Monday that had half the nation shook.

From Right Scoop:

McConnell didn’t say which day the vote would occur. But I’m guessing that since three full days of this FBI background investigation have already passed, it could be any day this week. Probably Friday, but who knows, it could be even sooner.

I’m glad he is being resolute about this despite the committee having to fold last week after the Great Flake Out of 2018. Let’s hope he stays that way and Kavanaugh gets voted in sooner than later. It’s the least the Senate can do for a man who was put through this completely unnecessary bruising.

Syracuse has more:

McConnell is suggesting a parallel between Democrats’ actions and the McCarthy era of the 1940s and 1950s, when Sen. Joseph McCarthy used unfounded allegations to accuse people of being communists without firm evidence, ruining their reputations.

McConnell’s remarks come as the two parties battle over the FBI’s investigation of allegations that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted women when he was a teenager in the 1980s. That investigation is supposed to be completed by Friday.

Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton (R) went on “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

He made it clear.

Both Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) as well as Christine Blasey Ford’s lawyers will see investigation’s into their misconduct surrounding Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

From Right Scoop:

Senator Tom Cotton really ripped to Dianne Feinstein and the actions of the Democrats in the Kavanaugh affair, and he’s indicated that they ALL will be investigated by the FBI!!
