McConnell to meet with Trump’s Supreme Court pick Tuesday
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is set to meet with Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s new Supreme Court nominee, on Tuesday as he begins to build support on Capitol Hill.
Kavanaugh will meet with McConnell and Vice President Pence at 11:15 a.m., according to guidance released by the White House late Monday evening.
The meeting comes after Trump announced on Monday night that he would nominate Kavanaugh — currently a judge on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit — to succeed retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy.
