Sally Mauk: Welcome to Campaign Beat, our weekly political analysis program. I'm Sally Mauk and I'm joined by University of Montana Political Science Professor Rob Saldin and Veteran Capitol Reporter Chuck Johnson. Chuck, the news of the week, of course, is the Senate vote on the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. The Judiciary Committee hearing this week was astonishingly partisan and dramatic. And for red-state-Democrats like Jon Tester, this is a tough vote politically. And Tester will vote no, and that is sure, Chuck, to please his base and sure to infuriate Trump's supporters. Chuck Johnson: Yeah, that's right Sally, and Tester kept his vote under wraps until recently, and he said he would vote against Kavanaugh's nomination for a couple reasons. Concerns about his decisions on dark money, choice, the allegations of sexual assault and others. But yeah, it was a vote that Tester will take a lot of flak for from the Republicans. But would he get their votes anyway? |
