“later today, we are going to have the first set of votes on the nomination of Pam Bondi to serve as Attorney General of the United States. Before we do, I would like to speak in support of her nomination. Ms. Bondi made history as the first woman elected as Florida attorney general. She served for 8 years and was easily reelected to a second term because she did such a great job. She fought against pill mills, eliminated the backlog of rape test kits, and stood for law and order. There is no doubt that Ms. Bondi is highly qualified. She is capable of doing the job well, and she represents mainstream views shared by at least 77 million Americans who voted for change in the 2024 election. This should earn her the same bipartisan support this body gave to Attorney General Garland, including this Senator. I am disappointed that none of my Democratic colleagues on the Judiciary Committee voted for Ms. Bondi, and I hope the full Senate takes a different approach. If my colleagues won't cross the aisle for this qualified nominee, they will show that their intent on opposing President Trump's picks are for purely partisan reasons. Ms. Bondi is ready and able to serve our country, and she will work with President Trump to restore faith in the Justice Department. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting Ms. Bondi. Later today, we will be working on the nomination of Christopher Wright of Colorado to be Secretary of Energy.…”
