Two Republican senators say they're prepared to oppose Todd Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General. Their resistance could complicate Trump's effort to install his pick in the top justice role.
Two Republican senators have signaled they're prepared to vote against Todd Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General. In a 53-47 Senate, Trump can afford to lose only a handful of Republican votes, which means two senators willing to break ranks is a real constraint on his ability to install his preferred AG without negotiation or concessions.
Blanche's nomination was already contentious—he's a Trump loyalist and former prosecutor accused of weaponizing his office for political purposes. Adding active Republican resistance to the Epstein document issue creates a second problem: he's now forced to simultaneously manage his own confirmation fight while handling court orders that could look like he's either cooperating with Trump critics or defying a judge. Any move he makes satisfies one side and aggravates the other. The senators haven't disclosed their specific concerns, which means Trump doesn't know exactly what concessions might flip their votes, making the path forward uncertain.
