Groups on left and right head to battleground states for fight over Kavanaugh
As President Donald Trump’s pick for Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, makes his way through the halls of Congress to win over lawmakers ahead of a nomination vote, conservative and liberal women’s groups are taking the case for — or against — Kavanaugh to the people.
Kavanaugh’s fate could be determined by a handful of senators in midterm battleground states. This August, in an effort to sway those senators’ support, influential organizations from across the political spectrum have been ramping up grassroots campaign efforts. At the heart of their efforts is the understanding that so many Supreme Court decisions come down to a 5-4 vote, and Kavanaugh could be the deciding vote on polarizing issues like abortion and religious liberty.
