WATCH LIVE: Day two of Kavanaugh confirmation hearing

Published September 5, 2018 1:34pm ET



The Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday kicked off its confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh is expected to ultimately get confirmed with a Republican-controlled Senate, despite an expected partisan gauntlet.

However, Democrats are expected launch an intense barrage of questions for the 53-year-old judge, zeroing in on Kavanaugh’s stance on Roe v. Wade, the Affordable Care Act and criminal investigations on sitting presidents.
