PoliticsCassidy says he will support Blanche as Murkowski says she will oppose

Sen. Bill Cassidy says he will support Todd Blanche to lead the Justice Department. His backing is described as critical after Sen. Lisa Murkowski said Friday that she would oppose Blanche. Murkowski said she would join fellow Republican Sen. Susan Collins in rejecting the nomination. The Senate support picture therefore includes opposition from both Murkowski and Collins.
