Senate Votes To Confirm Pam Bondi As Attorney General

The Republican-controlled U.S. Senate has voted to confirm Pam Bondi to serve as attorney general following her nomination to the role by President Donald Trump.

Bondi was confirmed on a 54-46 vote by the full Senate.

This comes as Senate Democrats postponed the vote by one week.

The Judiciary Committee announced last week that it had canceled its scheduled hearing when members would have had the opportunity to vote to move Bondi’s nomination to the entire Senate.

“Per Judiciary Committee Rule I.3, any member of the Committee may request an item on the Committee’s agenda be held over for a minimum of seven days. Holds are common practice in the Senate Judiciary Committee,” the notice said.

“Pursuant to this rule, the Minority will hold Bondi’s nomination for seven days. As a result of this hold, which goes into effect tomorrow, the Committee will not meet in person for this week’s executive business meeting,” the advisory added.

Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, testified before the Judiciary Committee in a confirmation hearing last month.

If confirmed, I will fight everyday to restore confidence and integrity to the Department of Justice and each of its components,” Bondi said. “The partisanship, the weaponization, will be gone. America will have one tier of justice for all.”

Bondi made waves when she clashed with some of the committee’s Democrat members, including California Sen. Adam Schiff.

During his questioning, Schiff tried to secure a commitment from Bondi that she would essentially oppose her boss, the president, on certain pardons that Trump has said he is looking to grant, including many Americans convicted of low-level crimes related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

“Will it be your advice to the President: ‘No, Mr. President. I need to go over them on a case-by-case basis. Do not issue blanket pardons.’ Will that be your advice to the President?” Schiff pressed.
