Republican challenger, Mike Braun, called Donnelly’s vote a betrayal to Hoosiers. He released the following statement: “Voting against Judge Kavanaugh today is just the latest example of Senator Donnelly saying one thing to Hoosiers and then doing another in Washington.

I am thrilled the Senate has confirmed Judge Kavanaugh, and look forward to the great work he will do to protect our Constitution on the Supreme Court.“ – Mike Braun
Washington Examiner: Hey North Dakota and Indiana, throw out your senators come November
Sens. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., and Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., sold themselves to the voters of their respective states as centrists and moderates. Now, when it matters and just weeks before they face voters on Election Day, they have chosen to please the Democrats’ left-wing donor base over their constituents. North Dakotan and Hoosier voters should remember on Nov. 6 that both of these senators won their elections in 2012 based on false advertising. They lied, and neither one can be trusted now for anything they say.
