Explained simply
Todd Blanche is a former personal lawyer to Donald Trump, who is now president of the United States. He has been nominated for a senior role at the US Justice Department, the government department responsible for federal law enforcement and legal affairs.
The US Senate reviews and votes on many senior presidential nominees before they can take office. John Cornyn is a Republican senator from Texas; a delay in a confirmation process can affect when a nominee is considered, while also reflecting disagreement over a candidate or the process.
