- Murkowski said she opposed the nomination because she believes politicization of the Justice Department has intensified and because of the so-called anti-weaponization fund.
- With Mitch McConnell absent and all Democrats expected to oppose confirmation, Blanche cannot lose another Republican vote; Susan Collins has already announced her opposition, while Bill Cassidy remains undecided.
- If Cassidy also opposes Blanche, the report says a confirmation vote would likely not take place before senators leave for August recess Friday.
- Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis supported Blanche only this week after he submitted a written document that purported to rescind the fund and limit the tax immunity granted to Trump.
The country needs an Attorney General who will check the worst impulses of this administration.— Murkowski said in a post on X Friday morning.
