Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) will vote “no” on Todd Blanche‘s nomination for attorney general, narrowing his path to confirmation in a chamber where Republicans can only afford to lose two GOP votes. Her announcement means only one other Republican can oppose Blanche’s nomination on the Senate floor due to Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) absence. All Democrats are expected to oppose Blanche, accusing him of being blindingly loyal to the president. Blanche is Trump’s ex-personal attorney and was previously confirmed to the role of deputy attorney general. He became acting attorney general after Pam Bondi stepped down in April.
