Republicans Praise Bondi Following Nomination: ‘She’ll Be An Incredible Attorney General’

President-elect Donald Trump was praised Thursday evening after announcing that he had nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to be his U.S. Attorney General.

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who was Trump’s pick for attorney general until he removed his name from consideration on Thursday afternoon, said that he was excited about her nomination.

“@PamBondi is a stellar selection by President Trump for Attorney General,” he said. “Pam and I worked closely together when she was Florida’s Attorney General and I chaired Criminal Justice in the state house.”
