I'm unable to access the actual article content — the page returned an "access denied" message (both in the text you pasted and when I tried fetching it directly), so there's no substantive text to summarise. Based only on the headline, I can tell you Republican Senator John Kennedy expressed doubt about the Senate confirmation prospects of a nominee named Blanche, saying he "wouldn't bet my house" on it happening — but I don't have enough reliable detail (who Blanche is, the nomination context, or Kennedy's reasoning) to produce an accurate summary without risking inaccuracies.

If you can paste the article text directly, or a link to a version that isn't blocked, I can summarise it properly.
