Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination stalled after Sen. John Cornyn canceled a planned meeting before a critical Senate Judiciary Committee vote. GOP support is slipping.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's path to confirmation hit a wall when Senator John Cornyn canceled a planned meeting before a critical Senate Judiciary Committee vote. Cornyn's cancellation signals he's not ready to back Blanche, and his absence from a pre-vote meeting is a public sign of wavering GOP support.
Confirmation votes often hinge on one-on-one meetings with skeptical senators, and canceling that meeting is a form of pushback. With GOP support slipping, Blanche no longer has the assumed backing he might have expected. Cornyn's move suggests internal Republican concerns about Blanche's nomination, and other GOP senators may be waiting to see how Cornyn positions himself before committing.
