1. ''The Senate will gavel into session at 9:30 a.m. ET. Cloture is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. ET.''

McConnell optimistic but does not have the votes yet as of Friday morning


The Senate will gavel into session at 9:30 a.m. ET.
The vote to end debate (cloture) on Kavanaugh's nomination is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. ET.
To make it clear: Friday's vote is procedural -- Republicans need a simple majority to end debate -- also referred to on Capitol Hill as invoking cloture. But make no mistake about it -- this is the ballgame. Senators aren't going to flip their votes between Friday and Saturday. Kavanaugh's future as a Supreme Court justice will be decided in the coming hours.
What to watch: The expectation is that the undecided senators will release statements and/or go the floor to announce their intentions before the vote.
