    Bill Cassidy Votes to Confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General

    Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) announced on Friday that he will vote to confirm Todd Blanche as U.S. Attorney General, clearing the way for Trump's former personal lawyer to take the job. Cassidy was the last undecided Republican, making his announcement all the more decisive. He expressed concerns about Blanche's 'apparent lawfare' and bringing lawsuits against political enemies but ultimately decided to support him. Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska were already opposed, and with Sen. Mitch McConnell absent, Blanche's confirmation is now on track.
