Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake released a statement early Friday saying he intends to vote “yes” to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court.
Here’s Flake’s full statement:
Flake, along with fellow Republican Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), was one of several senators seen as largely being on the fence on Kavanaugh’s confirmation after the judge was accused by several women of sexual misconduct stemming back from his high school days at Georgetown Prep.
Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia, is also rumored to be breaking ranks with the left side of the aisle and voting “yes."
