Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) filed cloture to end debate on Kavanaugh’s nomination Wednesday evening right before the midnight deadline.
McConnell made an announcement from the Senate floor Wednesday night–he is moving forward to set up the confirmation vote on Saturday.
The Senate Majority Leader said there will be plenty of time for Senators to review the FBI’s report on Kavanaugh and he wanted to commit to his end of week vote.

How the next 48 hours will go down:
Process to confirm Kavanaugh 2) Thursday: By rule, a “cloture petition,” the parliamentary mechanism to end debate in the Senate, must lay over untouched for an entire day before it “ripens” and is ready for a procedural vote. Thursday serves as the layover day.

If the Senate votes to “invoke cloture” or limit debate, opponents of the nomination then get 30 hours to run out the string.
