Alaska Senator Murkowski will oppose Todd Blanche as Attorney General, according to NYT > U.S. News, putting his confirmation at risk. This decision makes Murkowski the second Republican to announce plans to vote against Blanche.

According to The Guardian, Trump's Attorney General pick is at risk as Republican senators refuse to vote for Blanche. The Hill News also reports that Senator Cassidy is set to announce his stance on Blanche as AG, which may further impact the confirmation process. These developments suggest that Blanche's confirmation is in jeopardy after Republican senators back away from Trump's nominee.
The opposition from Republican senators is crucial as it may determine the outcome of Blanche's confirmation. The background of this development is not fully detailed in the provided sources, but it is clear that the decision of Republican senators will play a significant role in the confirmation process.
