Senate Judiciary Committee votes 12 to 10 to advance Todd Blanche for Attorney General

Republican members of the committee unified to move the nomination forward following a narrow committee approval. While the committee backed the pick, some Republican members expressed concerns regarding future White House deals. This step paves the way for a floor vote on Trump's choice to lead the Department of Justice. The 12 to 10 tally reflects deep partisan divisions over the nominee. Blanche now faces a full Senate vote to determine if he will become the next attorney general.
