A moment of kindness in the chaos: Kavanaugh 'No' voter Sen. Lisa Murkowski reveals she will abstain from voting tomorrow so 'Yes' voter Sen. Steve Daines can walk his daughter down the aisle
Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski said she will vote 'no' against Brett Kavanaugh
But in tomorrow's confirmation vote will be listed as 'present' so that Montana Rep. Sen. Steve Daines can remain at his daughter's wedding
Friday evening Daines announced he was willing to jet to DC to vote if needed
Speaking at a press conference late Friday, Murkowski said the Judge 'is a good man but not the right man for the court'
She stressed being listed as 'present' will not change the outcome of the vote
As of Friday there were 51 confirmed votes for Kavanaugh and 49 against
On Thursday Senator Daines said he would vote in support of Kavanaugh
A final vote is expected to take place Saturday afternoon
Republicans cannot delay the vote officially without all 100 Senators' agreement - an unlikely outcome given the fervent anticipation surrounding the process
