Loretta Lynch Confirmed, U.S. Senator Durbin Congratulates First African-American Woman Attorney General

The Senate FINALLY confirmed Loretta Lynch as attorney general.

This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Mitch McConnell caved under our pressure and was forced to hold a vote.

Now, let’s say congrats to America’s new attorney general!

While Senate Republicans delayed her nomination a record 166 days, today we made history by confirming America’s first African American woman attorney general!

Thanks,

Dick Durbin
U.S. Senator
