US President Donald Trump said on July 30, 2026, he could temporarily withdraw Todd Blanche's nomination for US attorney general after two Republican senators forced the postponement of a crucial confirmation vote. Trump said Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current acting attorney general, could be renominated after Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina leave office in January.
