Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, was part of Trump's defense during his first impeachment trial.

Summary

Donald Trump has nominated Pam Bondi, Florida’s former attorney general (2011–2019) and longtime ally, as his pick for U.S. attorney general after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration.

Bondi, known for her work combating drug trafficking and her role in Trump’s impeachment defense, will face Senate confirmation.

Her nomination has drawn praise from Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, and is seen as less controversial than Gaetz, who withdrew amid past allegations.

Bondi’s past ties to Trump, including a donation linked to Trump University investigations, have sparked scrutiny but have been denied as improper.

    I called that the Pedo was a trap. Because as openly and brazenly corrupt as Pam Bondi is, she is better than Gaetz, and now the senate GOP cant refuse her as easily.

        Oh he’s an idiot.

        He has someone smart behind him though, dont assume that his entire team is idiots.

        Just like in 2016, he was able to do rallies, albeit this time barely coherent ones, that were tailored to the demographics of each stop.
        E.g. Rust belt its all about a reliance on the crowd wanting manufacturing jobs back and not understanding tariffs. Whereas in NYC it was anti-immigrant racism spiced through an insult comic because the rich of NYC hate them in “their city.”

          Right here is a huge reason dems lost. The narcissism and self-righteousness over their own intellect blinded them to the real threat. Don’t underestimate fascism
