Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell voiced confidence Friday that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed despite the sexual assault allegation against him, promising supporters: “We’re going to plow right through it.”“President Trump has nominated a stunningly successful individual. They have also criticized Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., for not mentioning the allegations earlier, despite knowing about them in July. But McConnell told the audience to “keep the faith.”“Don’t get rattled by all of this, we’re going to plow right through it and do our job," he said to applause from the crowd. President Trump later offered support for McConnell’s stance, saying that Democrats' aims were to “obstruct & resist & delay.”“Let her testify, or not, and TAKE THE VOTE!” he tweeted. Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee are discussing how to proceed, and it remains unclear whether a new hearing will be held next week.
