WASHINGTON D.C. - Both of Mississippi's U.S. Senators are calling for a vote to go forward on Brett Kavanaugh.

Senator Roger Wicker issued a statement saying, "Senate Democrats have demonstrated that they are not interested in truth or justice. The clear lack of supporting evidence and witnesses and the withholding of information suggest a coordinated campaign designed to smear Judge Kavanaugh."

Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith also issued a statement.

"Sexual assault of any kind is unacceptable, but it is becoming very apparent that a major partisan effort is underway to undermine not just Judge Kavanaugh's nomination, but his character."
