According to the AP, Senate Democrats asked the President to delay the announcement to avoid controversy about whether they will support the nominee. The Senate Judiciary Committee, which has policy and oversight jurisdiction over the Justice Department, will consider the nominee. This timing shows, once again, that the President and Democrat Senate leaders are willing to play politics with important policy decisions. First it was immigration, and now Senate Democrats have asked the President to delay his announcement for Attorney General so they can avoid making clear to the voters of their states where they stand on what could be a controversial choice for Attorney General. -30- | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
