Republican Sen. Steve Daines sounded optimistic about getting back to D.C. for a final vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination a day after saying he wouldn’t be around if the vote came Saturday.

Daines told The Associated Press on Thursday that he would be in Montana for his daughter’s wedding, whether the vote was held then or not.

He told reporters that he would be back at the “end of the weekend,” which could complicate the timing of the vote.

“At the end of this weekend I will have walked my daughter down the aisle at her wedding and there will be a new Supreme Court justice. We’ll wait and see how this all unfolds here,” Daines said. “We have transportation arranged and we’ll wait and see what happens. I have a very happy daughter and a happy judge right now, too.”

Daines said that Montana Republican Rep. Greg Gianforte “has come to save the day,” offering to let Daines use the congressman’s plane to get back to D.C.

Daines tweeted that he looked forward to calling Kavanaugh “Justice Kavanaugh.”

Just cast my vote for Judge Kavanaugh getting him one step closer onto #SCOTUS. We spoke last night, and I assured him, I will be back to vote YES this weekend if needed. Looking forward to calling Judge Kavanaugh, Justice Kavanaugh. pic.twitter.com/KzfdX2HIMc

Daines voted to move Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Senate floor on a 51-49 mostly party line vote. Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voted against cloture and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia voted with Republicans.

If senators vote as they did on Friday, Daines’ vote won’t be needed, but some senators emphasized that how they voted on cloture wasn’t necessarily how they would vote on confirmation.
