The Senate Judiciary Committee postponed a vote on advancing Blanche’s nomination due to objections from Cornyn and Tillis, whose single “no” vote could halt the nomination. Driving the news: The senators’ concerns focus on Trump’s settlement with the IRS, particularly issues over the “anti-weaponization” fund and protections for Trump and his associates from IRS audits. What they’re saying: Cornyn said Trump’s belief that only he and Tillis object is mistaken, suggesting broader Senate Republican concerns. Tillis criticized Trump’s tactic as “politically tone deaf” and warned it could hurt Republicans ahead of the midterms. State of play: Cornyn and Tillis are both on their way out of the Senate, with Cornyn having lost a primary and Tillis retiring, and Trump claimed credit for their pending departures.
