Blanche vote is rescheduled, but there’s no deal
The Senate Judiciary Committee rescheduled a vote on Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination to Tuesday, following a postponement from Thursday. The move adheres to procedural rules requiring three days of notice, but no agreement has been reached to secure the necessary support, particularly from Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.). President Donald Trump has not conceded to demands to revise a controversial IRS settlement agreement linked to the nomination.
