Senate confirmation for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has stalled amid holds by Republican senators John Cornyn and Tom Tillis, who seek additional assurances on issues including a compensation fund and related settlements. President Trump has publicly weighed withdrawing the nomination and potentially resubmitting it after the midterms, creating immediate uncertainty ahead of the August 31 resolution window. Hearings concluded in mid-July without clearing the Senate Judiciary Committee, and recent procedural delays have kept withdrawal odds near even. Traders appear balanced between the risk of an early pull amid intraparty friction and the chance that negotiations or administration pressure could still advance the nomination before the deadline.
