The Senate Judiciary Committee is delaying the vote to advance Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, according to breaking news.
Andrew Desiderio, the senior congressional reporter for Punchbowl News, shared the news on a post on X alongside a copy of a Senate Judiciary Committee agenda with Blanche’s nomination on it. The copy also had the red letters “POSTPONED” across the top.
The committee was initially scheduled to vote on Blanche’s confirmation on Thursday, which is a key procedural hurdle the acting attorney general needs to cross before he is confirmed.
The news comes after speculation swirls about whether Blanche will secure the job as President Donald Trump’s attorney general, with some GOP senators leaving it uncertain how they’ll vote. Blanche can’t afford to lose even one GOP vote on the Judiciary Committee if every Democrat votes against him.
