Todd Blanche’s nomination to serve as U.S. attorney general advanced through Senate committee review and floor consideration despite temporary friction with Republican holdouts over a proposed anti-weaponization fund and an IRS settlement agreement. Negotiations produced written assurances sufficient for committee advancement, and the full Senate confirmed him on August 8, 2026, by a 50-49 vote. He was sworn in two days later, eliminating any prospect of withdrawal before the August 31 cutoff. Trader consensus at 100 percent “No” reflects this completed confirmation process and the absence of any subsequent withdrawal action by the White House. Realistic scenarios that could still alter resolution remain narrow and would require documented evidence of a formal withdrawal occurring on or before the deadline, such as an unpublicized procedural reversal or administrative error that has not surfaced in official records.
