Possible Democratic 2020 contenders pounce on Kavanaugh during hearing

Democratic senators expected to mount a challenge to President Trump in 2020 were among the most outspoken on the first day of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing, demanding the proceeding be postponed amid an ongoing dispute over documents.

Sens. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Cory Booker, D-N.J., considered to be 2020 presidential contenders, were vocally opposed to moving forward with Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing and accused the Judiciary Committee of rushing through the nomination.
