father in that hearing room yesterday, one week ago thursday. john roberts has more from the west wing. >> give you a little more of brett kavanaugh's op-ed. the white house attempt to win over enough senators to get it across the finish line. i spoke with a source in the administration about the vote that just took place to say what about murcowski. do you think you can get her back? i was told no, they probably won't be able to convince murcowski to vote for judge kavanaugh after voting no for the cloture vote. they do think they will be able to hang onto joe manchin and believe that he will -- he is in a tight race in west virginia though he leads by nine points. they believe that manchin will vote for judge kavanaugh. they also think that flake and collins are on board as well. so with senator steve daines of montana out in montana tomorrow for the wedding of his daughter
