Todd Blanche emerges as top candidate for Attorney General after Gaetz withdrawal
Todd Blanche has emerged as the leading candidate for Attorney General after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration. Gaetz's decision followed an ethics investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct, which he cited as a distraction for the Trump transition team. Betting sites have shown increased support for Blanche following Gaetz's announcement. Despite speculation, sources indicate that Trump has not yet selected a new nominee and is reassessing options after previously bypassing other candidates. Blanche is an experienced attorney with a background in high-profile cases, including representing Trump. He has over 20 years of legal experience and previously served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney.
