Meet Donald Trump's new and soon to be confirmed nominee to be the next Attorney General of the United States, Pam Bondi. If any Republican Senators oppose her nomination, then they better get busy raising money to run against a very well funded primary challenger.

Pam Bondi, born on November 17, 1965, in Tampa, Florida, is an American attorney and politician. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from the University of Florida in 1987 and a Juris Doctor from Stetson University College of Law in 1990. Bondi began her legal career as an Assistant State Attorney in Hillsborough County, Florida, where she served for over 18 years, prosecuting cases ranging from domestic violence to capital murder.

In 2010, Bondi was elected as Florida's Attorney General, becoming the first woman to hold the position. She served two terms from 2011 to 2019, focusing on issues such as combating human trafficking, addressing the opioid crisis, and consumer protection.

After her tenure as Attorney General, Bondi remained active in public affairs. She served as a defense attorney for President Donald Trump during his first impeachment trial in 2020. In 2024, she chaired the Center for Litigation and co-chaired the Center for Law and Justice at the America First Policy Institute.

On November 21, 2024, President-elect Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate Bondi as the United States Attorney General, following the withdrawal of his previous nominee, Matt Gaetz.

Bondi's career reflects a commitment to law enforcement and public service, with significant experience in both state and national legal matters.
