A vote on a nomination has been delayed by a Senate panel. The nomination in question is that of Blanche, and it was expected to be voted on by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The committee's vote was initially anticipated to take place on a Thursday, with the purpose of deciding whether to advance the nomination to the full chamber.

Further details on this development are available from Houston Public Media, including the roles of specific lawmakers such as John Cornyn, who have withheld their support for the nomination.
