“Just before 10pm in Washington today (Oct. 3), McConnell filed “cloture” on the question of Kavanaugh’s nomination. This means senators will vote Friday on whether to create a 30-hour window in which to hold a final vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination. Traditionally, sixty senators need to vote in favor of the motion to trigger an actual vote for his nomination, but in recent years that threshold has been lowered to 51. If the cloture vote is a success, the Senate will hold a final vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination on Oct. 6.”
