Alabama Democrat Jones says he's a 'no' vote
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh (all times local):
11:40 p.m.
Alabama Sen. Doug Jones, a moderate Democrat, said he is voting "no" on Brett Kavenaugh's bid for the Supreme Court. Jones said: "The Kavanaugh nomination process has been flawed from the beginning." He said Dr. Christine Blasey (blah-zee) Ford was credible and courageous in her claim that she was sexually assaulted by Kavenaugh years ago. And he said late Thursday that he is concerned about the message the vote will be sending to sons and daughters, as well as victims of sexual assault. - My San Antonio
