On Friday morning, Sen. Bill Cassidy announced that he would vote to confirm Todd Blanche to be an attorney general after months of agonizing about the decision, all but guaranteeing the president’s former attorney will be the top official at the Department of Justice.
His remarks had come hours after fellow moderate Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska had announced that she would oppose Blanche’s confirmation and Sen Susan Collins of Maine announced the same. Earlier in the week, Cassidy, Murkowski and Blanche. The whole thing bore striking similarity to Cassidy’s vote to confirm anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
