UPDATE: U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, who was scheduled to speak at the NAACP's Freedom Fund Dinner on Saturday night in Cincinnati, said she is remaining in Washington, D.C., to vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

EARLIER REPORT: Two Democratic presidential hopefuls will be coming to the region this weekend.

It's likely Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's name will come up at both events.

First is Michael Avenatti, who gained fame representing Stormy Daniels, who is the porn actress that has claimed to have sex with President Donald Trump. He's also representing Julie Swetnick, who alleged in a sworn statement that Kavanaugh and his friend, Mark Judge, tried to get teenage girls drunk so they could be "gang-raped" by multiple boys.

Avenatti is scheulded to speak Friday evening to the Hamilton County Democrats at their fall fundraiser in Evendale.

Avenatti has criticized the FBI investigation into Kavanaugh for not contacting his client.

On Saturday night, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., is the planned keynoter at the Cincinnati NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner. Harris sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee that has heard testimony from Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, who's accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault when they were in high school.

Harris' appearance, however, might not happen if the Senate votes on Kavanaugh's confirmation on Saturday.

The NAACP in a statement said the organization still expects Harris to speak and will know Saturday by noon whether there's any change.

Harris is expected to be in Columbus on Sunday to deliver the keynote speech at the Ohio Democratic Party's state dinner.

While Harris hasn't said she's running, her appearances in a key battleground state indicate she is. Her standard response has been: "I'm not ruling it out."

Las Vegas bookmakers think Harris has a good shot at being the United States' first female president. Betting site Oddshark has her at the best odds to be the Democratic nominee.

A poll earlier this summer showed former Vice President Joe Biden - who visited Cincinnati in June - to be the early favorite to represent the Democrats and try to unseat President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

Biden was the choice of 32 percent of Democrats in a Harvard CAPS/Harris June poll that was obtained by The Hill. The party's 2016 standard bearer, Hillary Clinton, came in second with 18 percent and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was third with 16 percent.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., was fourth with 10 percent of the vote.

Cincinnati has become a must stop for Democratic presidential hopefuls, In addition to Avenatti, Harris and Biden, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti toured the city Sept. 8.
