While Kavanaugh huddled with his confirmation team, called Republican senators and began to prepare for next Monday’s public hearing, White House officials tasked with supporting his confirmation began to mount the public relations campaign that will aim to bolster the nominee’s public image over the next week, said White House officials familiar with the matter.
