President-elect Donald Trump has named former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his pick to replace former Rep. Matt Gaetz as the new Attorney General. Bondi, who served as Florida’s Attorney General from 2011 to 2019, is expected to face a confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Despite facing scrutiny for her ties to Trump and potential conflicts of interest, Bondi is viewed as having a “greater chance” of getting confirmed than Gaetz, according to political analysts. Bondi’s experience as a former Attorney General and familiarity with legal matters are seen as advantages that could help her navigate the confirmation process more smoothly.
In contrast, Gaetz, a controversial and outspoken Republican congressman, has faced numerous allegations of misconduct and questionable behavior during his time in office. These factors could make it more difficult for Gaetz to garner the support needed for confirmation.
As the transition of power continues in Washington, all eyes will be on Pam Bondi as she prepares for her confirmation hearing and the possibility of becoming the next Attorney General under the incoming Trump administration.
