1:11:20Now PlayingSusan Collins just said "no" to Todd Blanche—and with Mitch McConnell absent, Trump's attorney general pick can only afford to lose one more Republican vote. Today on AMPED UP: the defection, the math, and how to make the pressure count.
Cliff Schecter and David Shuster are joined by John Hlinko, founder of Left Action, on the fight over the most consequential nomination of the year.
🔹 Collins's own words: Blanche has "further eroded the Department's independence"
🔹 The math: McConnell out, Collins a no—it all comes down to Murkowski and Cassidy
🔹 The $1.8 billion "weaponization fund" deal that flipped Cornyn and Tillis to yes
🔹 Why the man who buried the Epstein files might not survive his own confirmation
🔹 John Hlinko on turning outrage into pressure the undecideds actually feel
