The Latest: Gary Johnson: I'd 'probably' confirm Kavanaugh
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The Latest on Gary Johnson running for U.S. Senate in New Mexico (all times local):
11:45 a.m.
Former Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson says he likely would vote to confirm President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh if he was in the U.S. Senate now.
Johnson told reporters Thursday in Albuquerque at his announcement to run for New Mexico's U.S. Senate seat that he would "probably" support the conservative Trump nominee. But Johnson made it clear that he didn't like Trump or his policies on immigration and free trade.
The Libertarian Party icon and former New Mexico governor is challenging Democratic U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich and Republican Mark Rich.
