He'll put Blanche in an "Acting" position or something else that doesn't require Senate approval. He's side-stepping the whole confirmation process almost 100% these days. It's an embedded part of Vought's "make Congress irrelevant" scheme.

“It’s not a “Florida” thing. It’s not a “Texas” thing. It’s a 21 states out of 50 thing. The government wants to dictate to half of this country's states what they can read & what they can think. They want public institutions of democracy & civic engagement to be mouthpieces of government beliefs.”
This week, we learned 21 states are eager to dismantle your First Amendment Rights.
It should be bigger news.
Here's the story, and here's what you can be doing about it. These are YOUR RIGHTS that the states want to steal from you.
