The US Senate is set to vote this morning (Oct. 5) whether to end the debate over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court and move to confirm the judge as early as Saturday. Reports suggest that Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell has not yet clinched the 50 votes he’ll need to put Kavanaugh on the high court, but that the Republican politician is optimistic he can get there.
For those looking to watch the debate live, it will begin at 9:30am ET, and is expected to be followed by a cloture vote around 10:30 ET. Here are a few ways to watch that do not require subscription or cable.
