NOW PLAYING
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) will give remarks from the Senate floor on Friday morning announcing his stance on acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s nomination to lead the Justice Department.
GOP Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine) have already indicated they will vote against confirming Blanche to succeed former Attorney General Pam Bondi. With the absence of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), it will take only one more “no” vote to block the confirmation.
Cassidy, who has at times been at odds with President Trump, has thus far been mum on which way he leans.
The speech is set to begin around 10:40 a.m. EDT.
