Todd Blanche, President Trump’s attorney general pick, just cleared a major hurdle with a 12-10 Senate Judiciary Committee vote — all Republicans yes, all Democrats no. But the fight isn’t over: he now needs 50 votes in the full Senate, where GOP support is still shaky. The main sticking point? A disputed “anti-weaponization fund” that Democrats say Blanche’s paperwork can’t fully erase — calling it a smoke screen. Two Republicans demanded written assurances, which he delivered, but Democrats remain unconvinced. With slim margins and skeptical senators on both sides, Blanche’s confirmation could be one of the most contentious votes of the year.
