Could Loretta Lynch Confirmation for Attorney General Be Coming Soon?

Ramin Talaie/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) — Will the Senate finally confirm Loretta Lynch as the next attorney general?
It all depends on whether Republicans and Democrats are able to resolve their differences on the anti-human trafficking bill.

It has been over five months since she was nominated to replace Attorney General Eric Holder — the longest delay for an attorney general nominee in modern history.
Last week, Jeb Bush advocated for confirming Lynch — a position that put him at odds with many Republicans in the Senate. His argument: the longer you wait to confirm Lynch, the longer Eric Holder is in office.
