The AG nominee can afford to lose only one GOP vote to be confirmed.

Bill Cassidy and Lisa Murkowski met on Capitol Hill Wednesday afternoon with acting Attorney General Todd Blanche as they weigh whether to support Blanche’s nomination to serve as attorney general, sources told ABC News.

Susan Collins said Tuesday she would vote against Blanche’s nomination when it reaches the Senate floor, possibly by the end of the week.

Mitch McConnell’s absence and Democrats voting against him, a “no” vote from either Cassidy or Murkowski would sink Blanche’s nomination.
