‘Trump has zero leverage’: Fetterman explains why three retiring Republicans can’t be pressured into backing his attorney general pick

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is facing a shaky path to confirmation, with Senator John Fetterman saying President Trump has little leverage over the Republican senators standing in his way. As reported by The Hill , three outgoing Republican senators, Thom Tillis, Bill Cassidy, and John Cornyn, have expressed skepticism about the nomination. Blanche needs to clear the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he can afford to lose only one Republican vote. Fetterman, speaking to Kasie Hunt on Friday, said, “Trump has zero leverage,” referring to the departing senators. The standoff centers on a nearly $2 billion fund often called an anti-weaponization fund, created under Blanche’s watch as acting attorney general. During his confirmation hearing earlier this month, Blanche told the committee, “There is no weaponization fund,” adding that the fund is dead. Senators remain unconvinced the fund is fully resolved Senator John Cornyn has said he is not entirely convinced the issue is resolved, noting that the settlement agreement establishing the fund requires written consent from all parties to be modified. During a July 15 exchange, Cornyn said Blanche’s testimony did not lead him to conclude the fund was permanently gone, adding that it “could be revived at a future

James Carville Predicts Trump Could Quit After a November Loss

Democratic strategist James Carville dropped a political bombshell when he predicted that the president could ultimately walk away from office. “I don’t think Trump matters that much anymore. I think he’s a washed-up, fat, old man,” Carville told MSNBC host Ari Melber on Saturday while discussing a Wall Street Journal exposé that detailed the president’s fixation on fundraising and the vanity projects he has pursued while in office. Carville, 81, then delivered a prediction about President Donald Trump’s future so unexpected that Melber questioned whether the veteran Democratic strategist was “trolling” him.

Vivek Ramaswamy Booed Off Stage After Being Called “Political Cretin”

Ohio’s Republican nominee for governor, Vivek Ramaswamy, got booed off the stage Wednesday in Cleveland while speaking to the Young Americans for Liberty. Ramaswamy was supposed to speak for half an hour at the libertarian student group’s national convention but had to end his remarks after only 14 minutes due to backlash from the crowd. The heckling started the moment he took the stage and continued as Ramaswamy was pressed on issues like Israel, and as he took shots at the less than friendly audience. “The truth of the matter is, you know no matter what happens in whichever direction we go, people in my generation have already made it. We’re gonna be fine. It’s going to be your generation that pays the price. That choice belongs to you,” Ramaswamy said , nearly being drowned out by boos.
