Blanche Nomination Stalls Amid Political Chess | Portland Maine News
Description
Trump’s nomination of Todd Blanche for Attorney General is stalled as Texas Senator John Cornyn blocks it, citing concerns over an IRS settlement involving Trump — and Cornyn’s opposition may stem from Trump’s endorsement of his primary rival, Ken Paxton. Trump says he’d do the same if in Cornyn’s shoes and even hinted he might wait until Cornyn and fellow holdout Thom Tillis are gone — a risky move Louisiana Senator John Kennedy warns could backfire if Democrats retake the Senate, leaving Blanche’s confirmation in jeopardy amid shifting political tides.
