Will Trump's nominee for Supreme Court pass the Senate vote?

The latest political battlegound in the U.S. Senate is soon set to become Donald Trump's choice for Supreme Court judge.

The president's nomination of Republican loyalist Brett Kavanargh is opposed by Democrats. They say Trump's trying to tilt the nine justices in the highest court in the land towards the conservative right.

Their confirmation is expected to shape the Supreme Court  for many years to come.
