TALLY: Where do Senators stand on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh?

UPDATE: Kavanaugh is likely to be confirmed after Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) announced they will vote for him. Collins said Kavanaugh is qualified for the Supreme Court and argued that she is unable to abandon legal principles about due process, including the presumption of innocence and fairness.

A vote is expected on Saturday on the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to be an Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. The list below shows senators who have expressed their support or opposition after they were able to read the FBI report. Those who opposed Kavanaugh for reasons that are unrelated to sexual assault allegations are also included.

The U.S. Senate consists of 100 members: 51 Republicans, 47 Democrats, and 2 independents who caucus with the Democratic Party. Kavanaugh needs a simple majority (51 votes) to be confirmed, which means that, unless a Democrat steps in to support him, he can’t afford to lose more than 1 Republican. If Kavanaugh loses the support of a Republican, Vice President Mike Pence would cast the tie-breaking vote.

Senators to watch: Jeff Flake (R-Arizona), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Jon Kyl (R-Arizona), Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska), Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia), and Heidi Heitkamp (D-North Dakota). They are the ones who are most likely to make or break Kavanaugh’s nomination.

Tally as of 6:16 p.m. ET:

YES: 46 (+5 who lean ‘yes’) = 51
NO: 45 (+4 who lean ‘no’) = 49
