MoveOn, a progressive outside group, said on Friday that it is cutting support for Democrats in two key Senate races because they are supporting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
"We're cancelling a planned six-figure digital video ad expenditure for Phil Bredesen in Tennessee due to his Kavanaugh position," the group said in a tweet. They added that "similarly [we] will be pulling all planned campaigning on behalf of Joe Manchin in West Virginia if he votes yes. Kavanaugh is unfit for the Court."
Manchin became the only Senate Democrat to say he would vote for Kavanaugh on Friday, calling him a "qualified jurist who will follow the Constitution and determine cases based on the legal findings before him."
Bredesen, who is running for a seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), said that the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh "make it a much closer call" but "I’m still a ‘yes.'"
The decision by MoveOn comes after Priorities USA Action said it won’t back Democrats who vote or support Kavanaugh, whose nomination was in turmoil amid allegations of sexual assault.

Bredesen is toast. Marsha Blackhburn is in.
Rats dumping him and they’re doing it to Manchin.
LOL Commie libs IMPLODING I LOVE IT!! They know they are DONE
Good! Make sure the Republican gets elected! These people are not too bright.
That can only help Manchin.
Cool, we get Kavanaugh in, we get Manchin out.
Do we get a third wish here?
Bresden has slipped behind Marsha Blackburn in the polls, and wants to claim that he would have voted for Kavanaugh. He wants Tennessee voters to think he would not kowtow to Chuck Schumer in DC.
But in the world of hardball politics, he lost some major support. Well that’s hardball for you.
I called it.... voting for him kills your base. Tough to win without your base. That’s the calculation the others made in much opinion.
You mean if MoveOn gives them the screws, they will switch parties?
Good luck with it.
LOL. One Trump campaign rally is worth ten of Move-on's "six-figure" expenditures.
Ooooo digital video ads...every one I know clicks on those...
I’ll say this. I do respect the Left for one reason. They don’t mess around. You’re not on board, they cut you off. They know their agenda.
Cool, we get Kavanaugh in, we get Manchin out.
Do we get a third wish here?

That money will get to Bredesen by other means. That very same money.

Yup. Bredesen is pretty much an old school Southern Democrat.
But that’s why he and Manchin are on the margins of today’s Democrat Party.
Where’s Avenetti(sp?) And his client with the rape rooms? I haven’t seen him on TV recently. His client was supposedly so credible because she had a security clearance. What happened to that aspect of the story?? Where is he??
