Cornyn and Tillis say they'll support Blanche for AG after rescinding "anti-weaponization fund"

Todd Blanche has taken a significant step toward securing the permanent position of attorney general, having rescinded President Trump's controversial "anti-weaponization fund." This action has garnered crucial support from Republican Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, signaling a potential easing of his confirmation process.

The "anti-weaponization fund," a key point of contention, was established under Trump's initiative. By withdrawing his support for this fund, Blanche appears to be aligning himself with a broader consensus within the Republican party, addressing concerns that may have hindered his appointment.

Senators Cornyn and Tillis's endorsement is a notable development, indicating that Blanche has successfully navigated a critical hurdle. Their support suggests confidence in his ability to lead the attorney general's office and potentially signals a unified front among key Republican figures regarding his candidacy.
