Supreme Court statements arrive from Senator Claire McCaskill and Josh Hawley, the most likely republican candidate to challenge McCaskill in November.
McCaskill’s full statement:
U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill today released the following statement on the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy.
“I look forward to thoroughly examining Judge Kavanaugh’s record in the coming weeks as the Senate considers his nomination to replace Justice Kennedy.”
McCaskill has voted in support of more than two-thirds of President Trump’s judicial nominations since he took office in January 2017.
Hawley shared his statement on Twitter.
