Republican US Senator Bill Cassidy will vote to confirm Donald Trump’s choice for attorney general, likely saving a nomination on the precipice of defeat. President Trump picked Todd Blanche, his former personal defence attorney who is currently acting attorney general, to run the US Department of Justice on a permanent basis. Blanche’s success hinged on Cassidy after two Republican colleagues announced their opposition. “This is not a referendum on President Trump, it is a decision regarding Mr Blanche, in very specific circumstances,” said Cassidy on Friday morning. “All considered, I will vote for Mr Blanche.”
Pray for Cassidy’s salvation, as long the senator continues to back the president’s efforts “to remake America.”
Try to get the president to stop belittling him in public.
Suggest to the president that he stop calling Supreme Court justices and the Federal Reserve chair and strong-arming them into doing what he wants.
