Byron York of the Washington Examiner appeared on FOX News on Thursday night and predicted that Pam Bondi, Trump’s new choice for attorney general, will be confirmed ‘pretty easily.’
He went so far as to suggest that unless she has committed a double-murder that no one knows about, this will be a simple confirmation process.
As the former AG for the state of Florida, Bondi has already been vetted fairly extensively.

Others have praised the choice of Bondi as well.
Roll Call reports:
“Well done, Mr. President. Picking Pam Bondi for Attorney General is a grand slam, touchdown, hole in one, ace, hat trick, slam dunk, Olympic gold medal pick,” Graham posted. “She will be confirmed quickly because she deserves to be confirmed quickly.”
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, a member of the Judiciary Committee, offered Bondi congratulations on social media. “I look forward to supporting her nomination in the Senate,” Lee said.
Bondi, a Florida native, was the first woman to serve as the state’s chief legal officer and held the role from 2011 to 2019, according to her biography on Ballard Partners, a lobbying firm.
That bio said Bondi “was one of Florida’s most accomplished Attorneys General” and she “earned a reputation among her colleagues as one of the toughest law enforcement officials in the country.”
Democrats will likely try to attack Bondi for one reason or another, but it is not going to work. She is well prepared for this role and has the resume to prove it.
