Senate Judiciary Panel Delays Blanche Attorney General Vote After GOP Holdouts

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