Trump selects Pam Bondi as attorney general following Gaetz's withdrawal

Donald Trump has named Pam Bondi as his new pick for attorney general after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration due to a scandal. Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, is seen as a competent choice, raising concerns among some commentators. Jason Johnson, a guest on MSNBC, expressed alarm over Bondi's qualifications, stating she is "dangerous and effective." He noted her tough stance on immigration and crime during her time as a prosecutor in Florida. Trump's quick selection of Bondi follows Gaetz's withdrawal, which was prompted by his inability to secure Senate support amid ongoing investigations. This change reflects Trump's ongoing strategy to appoint bold figures to his administration.
