Todd Blanche has been confirmed as attorney general by the US Senate. The confirmation vote was close, with 50 senators voting in favor and 49 opposed. The outcome of the vote had been uncertain until Senator Bill Cassidy announced his support for Blanche.

Some senators had expressed concerns over a proposed fund, which led to delays in the nomination process. Further details about the confirmation and the events leading up to it are available from WXYZ Channel 7 news. The Senate vote marked the end of a month-long stalemate over Blanche's nomination.
