White House Navigates Senate Hurdles | Charleston News
Description
The White House is urgently negotiating with Republican senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis to break the logjam blocking Todd Blanche’s confirmation as Attorney General. Both senators, feeling sidelined by Trump in the past, are withholding votes—but they’re also open to compromise, especially on Tillis’s key demand: permanently shutting down a $1.8 billion fund for government “weaponization” victims, which Blanche has pledged to close but Trump could reopen. Cornyn, usually cautious, is now willing to find common ground, even as Trump’s role in his recent primary loss adds complexity. Behind the scenes, the administration is working feverishly to secure this critical appointment amid political sensitivities and policy demands.
