THUD: Obama bro Jon Favreau trips over Joe Manchin during celebration of 'bipartisan opposition' to Kavanagh

As we told you earlier, the Senate voted 51-49 to advance the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to a final vote that could take place late on Saturday. Republican Lisa Murkowski joined all Democrats in voting “no” on cloture, and former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau put it this way:

There is now bipartisan opposition in the Senate to Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination.

That’s one way to look at it. Here’s another:

And thanks to Manchin, bipartisan support.

Democrat Joe Manchin voted “yes” on cloture, so fact check: TRUE.

There’s also bipartisan support thanks to Manchin.

By that definition there is too now bipartisan support. https://t.co/AIEwONqTDT

And bipartisan support. You're not very good at this.

However, this was just the cloture vote. The final vote results remain to be seen.
