Senate Judiciary Committee Postpones Vote on Todd Blanche's Attorney General Nomination After GOP Defections

The Senate Judiciary Committee postponed its scheduled vote on Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general after at least two Republican senators on the panel withheld their support. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said he was not prepared to back Blanche, Reuters reported July 29. The delay leaves the nomination's path to the Senate floor uncertain. NPR confirmed the postponement July 30.
