GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski joins Jeff Flake's call for Kavanaugh vote delay pending FBI investigation

Earlier, Sen. Jeff Flake, while voting to forward the Brett Kavanaugh nomination to the full Senate, also called on a one-week delay for an investigation before the vote. Another Republican senator has joined Flake, and Lisa Murkowski is on board:

NEWS: Murkowski, entering the Capitol “on the way to talk to her colleagues,” said she supports @JeffFlake proposal for a one week delay and an investigation.

There it is: McConnell can’t move forward on the floor if Flake and Murkowski are together on this —> https://t.co/hWlbVZCRyY

Another possible “yes” vote in the Senate, Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin, also joined Flake:

With Flake, Murkowski, Manchin in board, there’s enough of a moderate bloc to force this or derail Kavanaugh. If Heitkamp and Collins join in, I vote that we call them, “The FBI Five.” https://t.co/hRmvc3mlM1
