Trump escalates feud with Cornyn over stalled Blanche AG nomination

President Trump publicly attacked Sen. John Cornyn over the stalled confirmation of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, tying the fight to his endorsement in the Texas GOP primary and a disputed anti-weaponization fund. Cornyn and other Republicans want concrete proposals to change the deal, while Blanche faces pushback from several GOP senators amid Democratic opposition; a hearing was postponed and Trump threatened to yank Blanche’s nomination as midterm dynamics complicate the path forward.
