MSNBC anchor Hallie Jackson asked Shah during a Tuesday morning interview, “Is there any circumstance under which the White House or President Trump would pull Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination?”

“Absolutely not,” Shah replied.

“We firmly believe in Judge Kavanaugh, we believe in his nomination, we think that he’s going to make a fantastic Supreme Court Justice,” Shah said. “The president made a great choice, an inspired choice in July in nominating him, and we’re moving forward.”
