Perhaps another factor bolstering GOP steadfastness on the issue is the Friday revalation that Ford’s current political adviser - former Obama and Clinton White House official Ricky Seidman, had allegedly been working on Ford’s situation since July - outlining a plan on a newly released audio tape to use the allegation as political fodder to derail Kavanaugh’s confirmation, and if unsuccessful, at least politically harm Republicans during midterms.

Update: Grassley has granted Ford an additional day to decide on next week’s testimony. 
In several late Friday tweets, Grassley wrote:

With all the extensions we give Dr Ford to decide if she still wants to testify to the Senate I feel like I’m playing 2nd trombone in the judiciary orchestra and Schumer is the conductor”
