Outgoing GOP Rep. Anthony D'Esposito, R-N.Y., is vying to become the next leader of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) under President-elect Donald Trump's administration. This move comes after Trump's initial nominee, Florida Sheriff Chad Chronister, withdrew his name from consideration following criticism over his handling of COVID-19 lockdowns.
D'Esposito has been actively seeking support from regional law enforcement unions and reaching out to individuals within Trump's circle to bolster his candidacy for the DEA position. His efforts have been described as a vigorous campaign to secure the role.
