Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly voted against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation Saturday, as promised, unleashing a torrent of criticism from Republicans exactly one month before he faces Indiana voters on Election Day.
“Voting against Judge Kavanaugh today is just the latest example of Senator Donnelly saying one thing to Hoosiers and then doing another in Washington,” Republican Mike Braun, Donnelly’s opponent, said in a statement after Kavanaugh was confirmed on a 50-48 vote. “Instead of joining Hoosiers in supporting Kavanaugh, Senator Donnelly joined the Democrat media circus to smear and obstruct President Trump’s nominee.”
