After a tense day of testimony from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in high school, the Senate is still expected to take up a vote on his confirmation in the coming days.

But despite President Donald Trump’s throwing his full support behind Kavanaugh, there are reports that Republicans are currently short of the 50 votes they need to confirm the president’s appointment.

As of late Thursday night, three Republicans are considered to be genuinely up in the air: Sens. Lisa Murkowski (AK), Susan Collins (ME), and Jeff Flake (AZ).

Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), who was previously undecided, will support Kavanaugh, saying Thursday that despite compelling testimony from Ford, he sees nothing that “corroborates” her allegations.
