WHAT HAPPENED
Todd Blanche was sworn in as United States Attorney General on Thursday after a contentious Senate confirmation that ended 50‑to‑49 in his favor. The vote came on the heels of a White House effort to convince a handful of Republican senators to join the ‘yes’ column.
According to Latest News From Euronews | Euro, Blanche secured his position by a narrow margin, with the White House reportedly persuading several Republican holdouts to change their votes. The confirmation battle has been described by other outlets, including the South China Morning Post and PBS News Hour, as a “bruising” struggle that culminated in Blanche’s swearing‑in ceremony the same day.
The Attorney General is the chief law‑enforcement officer of the federal government, and this appointment follows President Biden’s nomination amid a highly partisan Senate climate. The close vote underscores the ongoing partisan divide over key legal policy issues.
