  • Live from NPR News in New York City, I'm Doa Halisa Icautau.

  • The Senate Judiciary Committee is set to vote today on Todd Blanche's

  • nomination for attorney general after he met key demands from two Republican senators,

  • one over a controversial fund, the other on Trump's taxes.

  • NPR's Ryan Lucas has more on what Senators John Cornyn and Tom Tillis wanted.

  • Late Sunday, Blanche released two documents.

  • One says it formally rescinds the order that created the Anti-Weaponization Fund, meaning the fund is dead.

  • The other purports to clarify the scope of the tax immunity deal, including

  • that it only applies retroactively and only to Trump, two of his sons, and the Trump Organization.

  • That said, legal experts say neither document that Blanche released is actually legally binding,

  • and they don't provide the sort of ironclad guarantees that they purport to.

  • But they are enough for Cornyn and Tillis.

  • And Piers Ryan Lucas reporting.

  • Michigan's closely-watched Democratic Senate primary is today.

  • As Russ McNamara of Michigan Public Radio Network reports,

  • the two candidates are taking differing paths in the race's final hours,

  • and the winner may offer a glimpse into the future direction of the party.

  • The moderate Democrat Congresswoman Haley Stevens spent Monday in West Michigan trying

  • to shore up support outside of metropolitan Detroit, where she has largely stayed.

  • She's been getting by on her folksy charm and tens of millions in super PAC money.
