Sen. John Fetterman<\/a>, D-Pa., said Wednesday he would not vote for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to officially take over the role leading the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n

During a Wednesday appearance on comedian Jon Stewart’s podcast, Fetterman was pressed on Democrats’ failure to use the Senate<\/a> filibuster to block President Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees. The senator responded by claiming he would not vote for Blanche, who is Trump’s choice for attorney general.<\/p>\n

“Many of them I didn’t vote for,” Fetterman said, referring to Trump’s Cabinet nominees.<\/p>\n

“And if you’re going to bring up Blanche, I’m not going to vote for him as well. There are some that I would vote for, and then there are many that I haven’t because I just don’t believe that’s the right person for the job overall. I really try to call balls and strikes,” he told Stewart.<\/p>\n

Fetterman has been one<\/a> of the Democratic senators most supportive of Trump’s Cabinet nominees, voting “yea” to confirm half of his nominees, according to a Fox News Digital review.<\/p>\n

He was the only Democrat to support Trump’s previous choice for attorney general, Pam Bondi<\/a>. He also helped push Markwayne Mullin, the newest Homeland Security secretary, over the line, casting the decisive vote to advance Mullin out of the Senate Homeland Security Committee 8-7. Fetterman was again the only Democrat to vote for Mullin’s confirmation, joining the 53 Senate Republicans to confirm Mullin in a 54-37 vote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite Fetterman supporting Trump’s previous pick to head the Department of Justice<\/a>, it appears the president will not be able to count on his vote this time around.<\/p>\n

Bondi won her nomination<\/a> from the Senate in a 54-46 vote. Todd Blanche will likely have at least two fewer votes than that tally, as Fetterman joins Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, in publicly expressing opposition to Blanche.<\/p>\n

“Mr. Blanche has taken several actions that have further eroded the department\u2019s independence, and that is the basis for my vote to oppose his confirmation,” Collins said Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Collins notably voted to confirm<\/a> Blanche as the assistant attorney general in March.<\/p>\n

Two other potential GOP holdouts \u2013 Sens. Bill Cassidy, R-La., and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, \u2013 are still undecided, according to The Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A pair of Republicans who had previously opposed Blanche’s nomination \u2013 Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C. \u2013 flipped to “yeas” after Blanche agreed to stop pursuing a planned Anti-Weaponization Fund<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance<\/a> Blanche’s nomination to the full Senate on a strict party line vote 12-10.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital contacted the White House, the DOJ and Fetterman for further comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
