The committee vote on Todd Blanche was just postponed.
Statement from a spokesperson for the Senate Judiciary Committee:
“Chairman Grassley works to set President Trump’s nominees up for success in committee, not failure. Senators Cornyn and Tillis want written assurances from the Department of Justice regarding the Trump-IRS settlement. Tomorrow’s markup is postponed as work continues to secure sufficient support in committee to favorably report Attorney General-nominee Todd Blanche, who is highly qualified for the job.”
NEWS: Senate Commerce Committee will discuss the following bills at next week’s markup:
- KOSA
- SCREEN Act
- Youth AI Privacy Act
- CHATBOT Act
- Children’s Artificial Intelligence Toy Safety Act of 2026
This will be the last committee markup before the August recess
Subscribers read it first: Senate Commerce Committee will vote on KOSA and additional AI bills next week.
