Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz expressed his support for President-elect Donald Trump's selection of Pam Bondi for attorney general, describing it as a 'stellar selection.' Gaetz highlighted his past collaboration with Bondi during her tenure as Florida's Attorney General, emphasizing her qualities as a proven litigator, inspiring leader, and advocate for all Americans.
Gaetz, who previously chaired Criminal Justice in the state house, commended Bondi's capabilities and expressed confidence in her ability to introduce necessary reforms to the Department of Justice. His endorsement of Bondi's appointment reflects a positive outlook on her potential contributions to the role.
Despite being considered for the position of attorney general himself, Gaetz decided to withdraw his name from consideration. This decision came amidst concerns that he might face challenges in securing adequate support from fellow GOP members for his confirmation.
