Politico wrote and article review of Senator Jeff Sessions confirmation hearing for his nomination of being the next Attorney General. Red state democrats are having trouble backing Sessions based on his voting record of Violence Against Women Act. In 2013 Sessions voted no to renew the act which was first drafted in 1994 by current Vice-President Joe Biden. Many democrats are concerned by this because Sessions is the head representative of all members of the Justice Department and they are worried that this will make the country look unconcerned about the topic. Sessions doesn't need any help from the democrats to get confirmed but republicans are angling to hope get moderate democrats to back Sessions.
