Todd Blanche's big day in the Senate hits a major snag
It turns out not everyone is ready to give the green light to the potential deputy attorney general.
The Senate Judiciary Committee was all set to push Todd Blanche through, but two Republican senators decided they weren't having it. They just held back their support, and suddenly, the whole confirmation train came to a screeching halt.
It is a classic case of political friction where even a well-oiled machine gets stuck on two tiny pebbles. Whether this is just a polite pause or the start of a real headache for the nomination remains to be seen, but for now, everyone is stuck waiting in the lobby.
Apparently, being the president's pick doesn't always guarantee a smooth ride through the halls of power.
