Sen. Bill Cassidy said he will vote for President Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, Todd Blanche, likely assuring his confirmation. Republicans need support from 50 of their 53 senators to confirm Blanche. Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Susan Collins, R-Maine, said they will oppose him. With Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., out indefinitely, and Democrats expected to vote no, a third GOP opponent would have blocked the nomination. |
