The Senate backed Brett Kavanaugh's nomination by 50 votes to 48.I'm glad this drama is over.
[.]
The only party dissenters were Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, who had intended to vote no, and Democrat Joe Manchin, who voted yes.
That should have meant a 51-49 tally, but the absence of Republican Steve Daines, a yes voter who was at his daughter's wedding, altered the final figures.
Ms Murkowski opted instead to simply mark herself as "present", leaving the final vote 50-48.
Now...I need to figure out how the heck I'm going to watch around eight NHL games simultaneously tonight.
