With midterms around the corner, I realized that if Kavanaugh was confirmed, it would likely motivate Democrats to go to the polls and vote to change the incumbents. If Kavanaugh wasn't confirmed, many upset Republicans would flock to the polls to elect better representatives. Given that Kavanaugh has now been confirmed, does this further decrease the likelihood that Republicans keep control of Congress? Was it worth it?
I found a CNN article here that comments on this specific issue, finding:
"There is evidence that the court, which is usually a more motivating issue for Republicans, could drive Democrats to the polls this year. In a late-September Pew Poll completed before Kavanaugh's confirmation, 76% said the Supreme Court was "very important" -- the first time in years the economy did not top the poll."
Trump also commented on this fact,
"In their quest for power, the radical Democrats have turned into an angry mob,"
Does anyone else think that Dems are now more motivated to vote and thus change the tide of the House and even potentially the Senate?
