Blanche Nomination in Jeopardy | Roanoke News

Senator Lisa Murkowski just torpedoed Todd Blanche’s Attorney General nomination, citing fears he’ll revive a Trump-era fund for January 6 rioters — and with Susan Collins joining her, confirmation looks doomed. Meanwhile, Trump’s rolling out new immigration crackdowns targeting birthright citizenship and birth tourism, after the Supreme Court blocked his last attempt. The job market took a surprising hit, shedding 23,000 jobs as unemployment dipped slightly — partly because workers are dropping out of the labor force. Despite low approval ratings, Trump blames GOP voters’ anger on Congress, not himself, and insists he’s got $800 million ready to flood the party’s election campaigns. He also vowed to keep Blanche as acting AG even if the Senate rejects him — calling him “fair” despite acknowledging political fallout from impeachment votes.
