Axios’ Jonathan Swan has a new report citing White House sources on what’s going on behind the scenes with SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

First up, there is no “Plan B”:

For the White House, it's Brett Kavanaugh or bust. They have no Plan B and there's not even discussion of one, according to five sources with direct knowledge of the sensitive internal White House talks. https://t.co/gVUfCKoHO1

According to the source, the White House recognizes there’s no time between now and the midterms “to put up a new person”:

Sunday night email blast from @axios & @jonathanvswan on Kavanaugh ""He's too big to fail now," said a senior source involved in the confirmation process..There's no time before the [midterm] election to put up a new person," a White House official close to the process told me."

And if the Senate flips, they’re expecting a “4-4” court for the rest of Trump’s term:

“If he [Kavanaugh] doesn’t make it and the Senate flips, I think it's 4-4 for next two years.” https://t.co/NkzThTpCmc
