Summary
With the Senate holding a razor-thin GOP majority and Senator Lindsey Graham’s sudden passing, every vote counts—especially as Acting AG Todd Blanche faces a high-stakes confirmation. North Carolina’s Thom Tillis, known for his skepticism of Trump-era policies, grilled Blanche over a controversial new compensation fund—including payouts to January 6 rioters—calling it a “turkey of a fund.” While Tillis pressed Blanche on oversight and pardons, he ended on a surprising note, praising Blanche’s performance. With Tillis’s vote still undecided, the nation watches closely—his decision could tip the scales in this pivotal moment.
