Trump called Kavanaugh an "incredible judge"
U.S. President Donald Trump emphasized his support of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Thursday during a rally in Minnesota.
Trump called Kavanaugh an "incredible judge" as fellow Republicans gained confidence on Thursday that Kavanaugh could win Senate confirmation after two wavering lawmakers responded positively to an FBI report on accusations of sexual misconduct against the judge.
"And just take a look at what's going on. Democrats have been trying to destroy Judge Brett Kavanaugh since the very first second he was announced and he was announced for one simple reason. He is an incredible intellect, an incredible person, an incredible talent. He's been an incredible judge," Trump said.
Trump also called on supporters to vote against local Democratic candidates in the November 6 mid-term election. He warned that a vote in favor of House candidates Dan Feehan and Angie Craig could give House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi the title of Speaker of the House.
Trump returned to other regular topics during his wide-ranging speech including trade relations with China and his view of the NFL.
