## Key points

- Two Republican senators withdrew support for Todd Blanche.
- The Senate Judiciary Committee postponed his confirmation vote.
- His path to becoming Attorney General remains uncertain.

## Summary

Todd Blanche’s nomination as Attorney General has stalled after the Senate Judiciary Committee postponed its planned confirmation vote. Two Republican senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, withdrew their support, depriving the nomination of the backing needed to advance and highlighting divisions within the party.

The committee’s narrow partisan balance means that Republican opposition can prevent Blanche’s nomination reaching a vote of the full Senate. No new vote date or resolution has been announced, leaving his prospects for confirmation uncertain.
