Without mentioning allegations of sexual abuse or the related FBI report, Georgia’s senior senator, Johnny Isakson, announced Thursday he will vote to confirm D.C. Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh as President Donald Trump’s nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“The Senate Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Chuck Grassley, did a remarkable job conducting the confirmation process to consider the nomination,” Isakson, a Republican, said Thursday in a news release. “After reviewing the proceedings, including more than 30 hours of testimony from Judge Kavanaugh, and reviewing all witness testimony along with the rest of the record that has been presented throughout the course of Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation process, I will support his nomination.”
