“What exactly did he say? There is no article here, it was apparently a comment on TV.”
Amazing how people here are so stupid as to get jerked around on unsourced second-hand gossip.
He said two things were going to happen. CKavanaugh would be confirmed and he would walk his daughter down the aisle.
Respectfully...he said that he ‘will not be in D.C. for the vote on Saturday” He informed leadership earlier.
Here’s an article link & of course, they’re making it as dramatic as possible:

Here is what Daines said & comments on Kav - sounds like he’s got a plan & not going to sabotage Kav:
Daines told The Associated Press Thursday in a statement that two things are going to happen this weekend: There’s going to be a new Supreme Court justice and Daines is going to walk his daughter down the aisle.
Daines has supported Kavanaugh throughout a confirmation process that’s turned increasingly bitter following sexual assault and misconduct allegations against the nominee.
The senator’s spokeswoman, Katie Schoettler, says Daines read the FBI report on the allegations and saw no evidence corroborating claims made by Christine Blasey Ford and two other women.
She says Daines believes it’s time the confirmation moves forward.
He’s got his schedule worked out already. Fake news leading with misleading headlines to get the clicks.
