The Democrat’s Fantasy of Blocking Sessions for Attorney General Just Got Destroyed

The Democrat’s longshot bid to block Jeff Sessions as Attorney General just got completely destroyed as Democrat Senator Joe Manchin announced he will be BACKING the Sessions pick.

The Hill Reports

Sen. Jeff Sessions‘s (R-Ala.) bid to become the next attorney general has the backing of a Democratic senator.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) says he’s supporting President-elect Donald Trump‘s pick of Sessions, journalist Salena Zito tweeted Friday afternoon.

Manchin’s support is a big boost to Sessions’s chances. He needs a simple majority in the Senate to be confirmed, and the GOP is expected to control 52 seats in the chamber after next month’s Louisiana runoff elections.

Republicans have largely rushed to back their colleague, and CNN reported that Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has pledged to help push through his nomination.
Top Democrats have voiced skepticism about the pick of Sessions, while acknowledging they personally know and get along with the GOP senator.

Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), Chris Coons (Del.), Patrick Leahy (Vt.), Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.) and Richard Blumenthal(Conn.), all Judiciary Committee members, pledged to give Sessions a fair but thorough vetting process.
