President Donald Trump criticized Senator Murkowski as a "traitor" on social media for her vote against Blanche, contrasting it with her support for President Joe Biden's Attorney General pick. Murkowski expressed concerns about Blanche's independence from Trump, citing his involvement in a controversial settlement that included a proposed "Anti-Weaponization Fund" and protections against tax audits for Trump and his family. Republican Senator Bill Cassidy, initially a holdout, ultimately supported Blanche after the nominee agreed to abandon the controversial $1.8 billion compensation fund and narrow the settlement terms. Democrats uniformly opposed the confirmation, with Senator Dick Durbin calling it a "serious mistake," while Blanche thanked Trump and the Senate for his confirmation.
