The Kavanaugh Anniversary, Democratic Leaders Swap Me Too For Maine

Eight years after Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination, the Me Too era remains a political touchstone as Democratic leaders debate how to weigh survivors’ testimony. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) criticized colleagues who questioned a decades-old allegation that lacked corroboration, framing the episode within broader discussions of misogyny and accountability. The piece recalls Ford’s testimony and the intense scrutiny that followed, highlighting how statements from Democratic and liberal voices have shaped views on due process and belief. The narrative also notes shifting alliances and discussions within the party about how to frame Me Too in the Maine context and beyond.
