Here is how you can watch Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford testify during Thursday’s Senate hearing.

Live coverage of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, September 27.

The testimony begins at 10 a.m. ET and will be covered by several live cable news networks as well as streamed live on the internet. Proceedings are expected to take up to three to four days.

Ford is the first of now three women who have come forward with accusations of sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh. Ford was the first to come forward with her accusation. She alleges that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when she was 17, while the two were at a high school party.

Details of the assault were first shared via an anonymous letter with Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). Ford then publicly told her story in a Washington Post article. Kavanaugh has denied these allegations. Since Ford has come forward publicly, she’s been scrutinized, threatened, harassed, and her credibility over the assault questioned.

Several Republican senators remain undecided as to whether to vote to confirm Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. President Donald Trump caused outrage recently with this  tweet, in which he said Ford should have reported her assault sooner if it was “as bad as she says.” Trump’s comment, along with overall national attention towards Ford’s allegations, have sparked protests and recently, a national walkout.
