参议院共和党小组委员会将布兰奇提名提交全院参议院
福克斯新闻记者大卫·斯彭特从国会山发回报道称，参议院司法委员会已将托德·布兰奇的提名提交全院参议院。尽管共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯宣布反对，但委员会共和党议员总体上仍达成共识，支持总统唐纳德·特朗普的这一提名。听证会期间，进步派民主党人提出批评，包括参议员科里·布克，他对布兰奇的履职记录和过往行为提出质疑。

宾夕法尼亚州联邦参议员约翰·费特曼（民主党，宾夕法尼亚州）周三表示，他不会投票支持代理司法部长托德·布兰奇正式接任司法部部长一职。
周三，在喜剧演员乔恩·斯图尔特的播客节目中，费特曼被问及民主党为何未动用参议院阻挠议事规则阻止特朗普政府的内阁提名。这位参议员回应称，自己不会投票支持布兰奇——特朗普提名的司法部长人选。
“他们当中很多人我都不会投支持票，”费特曼在谈到特朗普的内阁提名时说道。
约翰·费特曼明确表态：尽管遭遇民主党反弹，他“绝不会成为共和党人”

“如果有人拿布兰奇的提名说事，那我同样不会投他的票。有些提名我会投支持票，还有很多我不会投，因为我始终认为那些人选并不适合相关职位。我真的会秉持公正判罚的原则，”他告诉斯图尔特。
根据福克斯新闻数字频道的审查结果，费特曼是支持特朗普内阁提名次数最多的民主党参议员之一，已为其中半数提名投出赞成票。
他是唯一一位支持特朗普此前提名的司法部长帕姆·邦迪的民主党议员。他还助力马克韦恩·穆林——新任国土安全部部长——以8票比7票的微弱优势通过参议院国土安全委员会的提名推进投票，他的决定性一票起到了关键作用。费特曼也是唯一一位在穆林的最终确认投票中投出赞成票的民主党议员，与53名参议院共和党议员一道，以54票比37票的结果确认了穆林的任职。

尽管费特曼曾支持特朗普此前提名的司法部部长人选，但此次特朗普似乎无法指望他的投票了。

邦迪的提名最终以54票比46票在参议院获得通过。托德·布兰奇的支持票数很可能比这一结果少至少两票，因为费特曼已与缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯一同公开表示反对布兰奇的提名。
“布兰奇先生采取的多项行动进一步削弱了司法部的独立性，这也是我投票反对其提名的理由，”柯林斯周二说道。值得注意的是，柯林斯曾在今年3月投票确认布兰奇担任助理司法部长一职。

据《国会山报》报道，另外两名可能倒戈的共和党议员——路易斯安那州参议员比尔·卡西迪和阿拉斯加州参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基——目前仍未作出决定。
此前曾反对布兰奇提名的两名共和党议员——德克萨斯州参议员约翰·科宁和北卡罗来纳州参议员汤姆·蒂利斯——在布兰奇同意停止推进一项计划中的反武器化基金后，转而投出了赞成票。

参议院司法委员会以严格的党派划线投票结果，以12票比10票将布兰奇的提名提交全院参议院。

Fetterman answers whether he’ll cross the aisle to confirm Trump AG nominee Todd Blanche

The Pennsylvania Democrat, who supported Pam Bondi, told Jon Stewart he tries to ‘call balls and strikes’ on nominees

Committee Republicans advance Blanche nomination to full Senate
Fox News correspondent David Spunt reports from Capitol Hill on the Senate Judiciary Committee advancing Todd Blanche’s nomination to the full Senate. While Republican Sen. Susan Collins announces opposition, committee Republicans maintain general consensus to support President Donald Trump’s nominee. The hearing features criticism from progressive Democrats, including Sen. Cory Booker, who challenged Blanche’s record and past actions.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said Wednesday he would not vote for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to officially take over the role leading the Department of Justice.
During a Wednesday appearance on comedian Jon Stewart’s podcast, Fetterman was pressed on Democrats’ failure to use the Senate filibuster to block President Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees. The senator responded by claiming he would not vote for Blanche, who is Trump’s choice for attorney general.
“Many of them I didn’t vote for,” Fetterman said, referring to Trump’s Cabinet nominees.

“And if you’re going to bring up Blanche, I’m not going to vote for him as well. There are some that I would vote for, and then there are many that I haven’t because I just don’t believe that’s the right person for the job overall. I really try to call balls and strikes,” he told Stewart.
Fetterman has been one of the Democratic senators most supportive of Trump’s Cabinet nominees, voting “yea” to confirm half of his nominees, according to a Fox News Digital review.
He was the only Democrat to support Trump’s previous choice for attorney general, Pam Bondi. He also helped push Markwayne Mullin, the newest Homeland Security secretary, over the line, casting the decisive vote to advance Mullin out of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, 8-7. Fetterman was again the only Democrat to vote for Mullin’s confirmation, joining the 53 Senate Republicans to confirm Mullin in a 54-37 vote.

Despite Fetterman supporting Trump’s previous pick to head the Department of Justice, it appears the president will not be able to count on his vote this time around.

Bondi won her nomination from the Senate in a 54-46 vote. Todd Blanche will likely have at least two fewer votes than that tally, as Fetterman joins Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, in publicly expressing opposition to Blanche.
“Mr. Blanche has taken several actions that have further eroded the department’s independence, and that is the basis for my vote to oppose his confirmation,” Collins said Tuesday.
Collins notably voted to confirm Blanche as the assistant attorney general in March.

Two other potential GOP holdouts – Sens. Bill Cassidy, R-La., and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, – are still undecided, according to The Hill.
A pair of Republicans who had previously opposed Blanche’s nomination – Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C. – flipped to “yeas” after Blanche agreed to stop pursuing a planned anti-weaponization fund.
