President-elect Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, Pam Bondi, is testifying to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary on Wednesday.
As Senate confirmation hearings begin, here's the latest on who in the Trump administration has, will or doesn't need to be approved.
Rubio appeared to be on a glide path to winning confirmation as secretary of state while Bondi looks poised to become the nation’s top law enforcement official.
IF THESE WERE “NORMAL” TIMES, Pam Bondi almost certainly would not be confirmed as attorney general. But these are far from normal times, and with her leading the Department of Justice under a re-elected Donald Trump, the times are likely to get a whole lot less normal.
Pam Bondi cast herself as an independent prosecutor who would keep politics out of the Justice Department if confirmed as President Trump’s attorney general. Senators on both sides predicted she would be confirmed.
Six of President-elect Trump's nominees are facing senators on Wednesday, including Sen. Marco Rubio and Pam Bondi.
Pam Bondi’s hearing came on the second day of high-profile confirmation hearings for Trump’s second-term nominees. PolitiFact fact checked her statements.
Republicans in the Senate and the Trump transition should not get too confident. There are plenty of nominees still to go. But so far, the nominees who have performed have done so exceptionally well. The second Trump administration is already off to a much stronger start than the first.
