Mitch McConnell veut un vote sur la nomination de Brett Kavanaugh cette semaine

Si on a accordé une semaine au FBI pour mener une enquête sur les allégations à l'endroit de Brett Kavanaugh, le meneur des Républicains au sénat Mitch McConnell entend bien voter cette semaine. Le temps presse pour les Républicains qui devront assumer le poids politique d'une telle décision. Seront-ils tous et toutes solidaires?

 "Nevertheless, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) doubled down Tuesday on his vow to hold a vote by the end of the week on Kavanaugh, saying he was the victim of open “floodgates of mud and muck.”

“One thing we know for sure: The Senate will vote on Judge Kavanaugh here on this floor, this week,” McConnell said during a floor speech in which he also dismissed some recent media reports about Kavanaugh’s decades-old behavior.

His comments come as Democrats are pressing for a more expansive FBI investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh. On Monday, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee called for FBI interviews of about two dozen people who might have information relevant to three Kavanaugh accusers."
