Senate Vote on Kavanaugh Delayed for FBI Investigation GOP Senator Jeff Flake has reversed course, saying it would be proper to delay a final vote on the SCOTUS nominee for up to one week. Flake will still vote "Yes" in the Senate Judiciary committee to bring a final vote to the Senate. However, he won't be "comfortable" voting for Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation until there's an additional FBI investigation. Flake's reversal comes after he was confronted by a protestor after saying he'd vote in favor of Kavanaugh.
