In a historic move, the Senate has confirmed President Trump's nominee for Attorney General, Pam Bondi, in a final vote that saw strong party-line support. Bondi, a former Florida Attorney General, was approved by a vote of 54-45, with all Republicans voting in favor and all Democrats opposing.
This confirmation comes as the GOP-led Senate continues to confirm President Trump's nominees at a faster pace than the Biden administration did during its first term. Just last week, the Senate advanced Trump's pick for Small Business Administration Administrator out of committee, following a contentious debate by Senate Democrats who spoke all night against the nominee.
Despite the delay tactics by Democrats, Trump's nominees are steadily making their way through the confirmation process. The recent confirmation of Pam Bondi as Attorney General marks another victory for the Trump administration and his supporters in the Senate.
Stay tuned for more updates on the confirmation process of key Trump nominees as the Senate continues its work in Washington.
