This process, with multiple allegations of sexual assault and Kavanaugh’s angry responses to Democrats on the committee, drew protests both for and against the conservative jurist to Washington, D.C. and to other locations around the country, including New Jersey.
For those who opposed Kavanaugh, the mantra has become, “Don’t get mad, vote.” At the same time, Republicans are saying that the televised fight has finally energized their base to show up at next month’s midterm elections. A poll released yesterday by Politico found that, nationally, Republican enthusiasm for voting has risen but Democratic zeal got a bigger boost — 77 percent of Democrats said they are “very motivated” to vote, compared with 68 percent of Republicans.
