Kavanaugh’s confirmation process was thrown into tumult when three women publicly accused him of sexual misconduct while he was in high school and college.

The FBI investigated the claims and released a private report to the Senate, which the GOP said offered no corroborating evidence to the accusations. Kavanaugh was confirmed by a 50-48 margin.

Trump was also referring to a caravan consisting of over 4,000 migrants coming from Central America toward Mexico. The president threatened Thursday he would send troops to the southern border to prevent the migrants from crossing.

While immigration has long been a hot-button issue, the Kavanaugh hearings jolted several close Senate races, with every candidates’ vote inevitable coming under scrutiny.
