Preparing for the hearing with Ford, Senate Judiciary Committee Chuck Grassley of Iowa said Republicans had hired an "investigating counsel" to handle questioning.
Democrats have largely avoided talking extensively about Ramirez's accusations, instead focusing on Ford and their push for the GOP to conduct an FBI investigation.
Kavanaugh told Fox News that the claims against him were false, that he never attended a party like the one Blasey Ford described, and that he has never sexually assaulted anyone. Deborah Ramirez alleged in a story published by The New Yorker Sunday night that while she and Kavanaugh both attended Yale University in the early 1980s, he pulled down his trousers and exposed himself to her.
"It's very hard to have these conversations with your children, which we've had to have", she said.

"Many years after. I'll leave it at that", Mr Kavanaugh said.
Ford's legal team on Monday had objected to the possibility Republicans would use an outside lawyer to question her.
She pressed on: "And through what years in college, since we're probing into your personal life here?"
Regarding Kavanaugh's virginity defense, Palumbo adds, "Virginity is, in many ways, a cultural construct that's used as a marker of status when it comes to sex".

The former actress showcased her flawless figure with a waist cinching belt and showed a flash of leg with a thigh high split. The event is the first of its kind held in Britain and marks 250 years since Captain James Cook first travelled to the region.
"I never had any sexual or physical activity with Dr Ford", Kavanaugh said, adding, "What I know is the truth. That's about as clean as I can make it", he told ABC News. "And it would be a awful, terrible thing for future political people, judges.it can not be allowed to happen".
"It is about whether or not a woman who has been a victim at some point in her life is to be believed".
"Following Dr Ford's testimony, Judge Kavanaugh will appear again before the committee", a media statement said. She made a decision to come forward after "assessing her memories" and consulting with her lawyer, the magazine said. "My lifelong record of promoting dignity and equality for women starting with the women who knew me when I was 14 years old. The girls from the schools I went to and I were friends".
So far, Trump is standing by his pick.
US President Donald Trump has cast doubt on a woman who accuses his Supreme Court nominee of misconduct as she was intoxicated and "messed up". "Hopefully, he will be confirmed quickly", the U.S. president said.
In it, they write, "Telling your truth will get us one step closer to the world we want to live into; one where seventeen-year-old boys are taught that it is not ok to exploit girls and that fifteen-year-old girls know their bodies are their own".
Kavanaugh was a "notably heavy drinker" in school who "became aggressive and belligerent when he was very drunk", Roche said.
"It's been very hard to have these conversations with your children", she told MacCallum. He said rejecting Kavanaugh would be "a terrible insult" and "a very risky game" for the U.S. "Just remember you know your dad".
Kavanaugh's confirmation would firm up conservative control of the Supreme Court and advance Trump's goal of moving the high court and the broader federal judiciary to the right.
