Todd Blanche, President Trump's nominee for attorney general, cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, advancing his nomination to the full Senate for a final vote. The committee's approval moves Blanche one step closer to confirmation, though his path in the full chamber remains narrow. He will need 50 votes to be confirmed, and given that Republicans hold a slim majority, he can afford to lose only two senators on a party-line vote. It is not yet clear whether all Republicans will support him. The vote comes amid concerns about funding for the Department of Justice, though no specific details were provided.
