GOP Sen. Tillis on Acting AG Blanche: ‘If there’s even a whiff of a lack of independence, then that could influence my vote’

Republican Senator Thom Tillis tells Jake Tapper, “I’ve got a positive predisposition towards Blanche… But if there’s even a whiff of a lack of independence, then that could influence my vote. But, right now, I’m confident in what we see with Blanche if we can address these distractions that have to get off the table before his confirmation, particularly the 1776 fund,” referring to the President’s $1.776 billio “anti-weaponization” fund.
