Lindsey Graham predicts 55 senators will vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., predicted on Sunday 55 senators will vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, a bold claim that would mean several Democrats would side with Republicans.

Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings start Tuesday. If he does well, Graham, a member of the Judiciary Committee, said, “he will get, my belief is 55 or higher. If he does well. I’m sure he will do well.” Only 51 votes would be needed to confirm Kavanaugh.
