Cassidy Backs Blanche for AG | Annapolis News
Description
Senator Bill Cassidy just flipped the switch on Todd Blanche’s confirmation, securing the crucial Republican vote needed to make him permanent attorney general. With the Senate deadlocked at 53-47 and all Democrats expected to oppose, Cassidy’s endorsement — after reviewing Blanche’s record, consulting with former AG Bill Barr and top Louisiana prosecutors — tips the scales. While Cassidy acknowledged Blanche’s missteps on the Trump IRS deal and the anti-weaponization fund, he praised his hands-on leadership and focus on serious crimes. Despite past tensions with Trump, Cassidy said history doesn’t matter here — Blanche’s effectiveness under Trump is what counts. Now, Blanche’s path to AG looks clear.
