President Donald Trump’s push to install Todd Blanche as U.S. attorney general is running into trouble in the Senate. According to Iltalehti, Blanche’s confirmation currently appears to lack the votes it needs.

The obstacle comes from two senators in Trump’s own Republican Party, making the setback particularly notable for the president. Senate approval is required for the nomination to move forward.

The development shows that Trump cannot automatically rely on every member of his party when key appointments are decided. It is still unclear how the nomination will proceed next.
