It’s official: We have a new attorney general, and her name is Pam Bondi. The Senate voted to confirm her on a 54-46 vote. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) joined Republicans in supporting Ms. Bondi. With her confirmation, President Donald Trump officially has his big four rounded out, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. This vote was initially scheduled at 1 am on Wednesday, thanks to Senate Democrats dragging their feet on a timetable. It was then moved up to 7 pm.
