- Blanche's nomination faces opposition from both Fetterman and Republican Senator Susan Collins, who cited concerns about Blanche undermining the Department of Justice's independence.
- The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Blanche's nomination along party lines, but his confirmation is uncertain due to potential Republican holdouts and bipartisan opposition.
