NPR reports, “Kavanaugh Looks On Path To Supreme Court Confirmation, After 4 Days Of Hearings.”

Friday, the Senate Judiciary Committee wrapped up four days of hearings on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. The committee is likely to vote on Kavanaugh in about two weeks.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has worked to portray himself as a major antagonist to President Trump, offered an alternative to the president’s famous campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” at a bill signing Wednesday.

“We are not going to make America great again. It was never that great,” he said.
