Todd Blanche is currently serving as acting attorney general and is seeking Senate confirmation to become the nation's permanent attorney general. But the two Republican senators blocking his nomination say they're not alone in opposing his confirmation. With Blanche's nomination stalled in the Senate, President Trump now says he may temporarily withdraw it and resubmit his name after the midterm elections. On Thursday, President Trump wrote on social media, "I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd's name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office." LiveNOW's Mike Pache brings FOX News correspondent David Spunt into the conversation to discuss.
