Kavanaugh Drama Risks Driving Moderates, Women Away From GOP
(Bloomberg) -- The sexual assault accusation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is forcing its way into the midterm campaign, undercutting one of the GOP’s strongest issues for its base and risking a further erosion of support from women and independent voters who will be crucial to deciding which party controls Congress after November.
Republicans have been treading carefully in dealing with the accusation by college professor Christine Blasey Ford that Kavanaugh attacked her while they both were in high school. That’s been evident in the careful statements from President Donald Trump and GOP lawmakers as they try to give Republican voters the conservative court majority that they want while not antagonizing women, who polls show already heavily favor Democrats in the election.
Trump, who is known for delivering harsh rebukes to critics, had a mild reaction Wednesday morning as uncertainty swirled about whether Ford would testify at a Judiciary Committee hearing next week.
"I really would want to see what she has to say,” Trump told reporters after saying the circumstances are unfair to Kavanaugh, who he called “an outstanding man.”
