Dem rep. fighting Ted Cruz in Senate race

Democrat Beto O'Rourke declined to hold a previously canceled debate with Sen. Ted Cruz this weekend. Cruz thought he would have to remain in Washington for votes related to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation, which has been delayed as the FBI investigates a sexual assault allegation made against the judge. O'Rourke instead recorded a campaign ad from his kitchen while streaming it on Facebook. Republicans are attacking the congressman over what they see as his lack of substance. Aman Batheja, political editor for The Texas Tribune, joined CBSN to discuss the state of the race.

FBI investigating Kavanaugh allegations

The FBI has begun a weeklong investigation into sexual misconduct claims against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh after some senators called to delay a confirmation vote last week. President Trump is reportedly limiting the scope of the investigation, but the president says the FBI has free rein to interview whoever it deems appropriate. CBS News chief White House correspondent Major Garrett joined CBSN to discuss the state of the investigation and the confirmation process.
