They made their demands after a second sexual misconduct allegation emerged against the right-wing judge who Donald Trump chose for the high court.

Gillibrand and Merkley tweeted their support for Deborah Ramirez, the woman who went public in The New Yorker Magazine with sexual misconduct accusations against Kavanaugh.
