Vice President-elect J.D. Vance lobbied key GOP senators on Capitol Hill on Wednesday to back former Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general as the controversial nominee’s fate is on life support.

Vance facilitated a meeting with Gaetz and several conservative allies on the Senate Judiciary Committee vital to the political firebrand’s confirmation process, including Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Josh Hawley (R-MO), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).
