On Friday, the Senate held a preliminary vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, only a day after reviewing the FBI’s supplemental report. Kavanaugh’s confirmation remains unclear, with three undecided Republican senators—Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Arizona, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska—and some Democrats said to be wavering. We’ll get the latest on the odds of Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

Guests:

Lorraine Woellert, White House reporter, Politico
