The Senate has confirmed Pam Bondi as the new Attorney General, succeeding in a narrow 54-46 vote despite significant opposition from Democratic senators. Bondi, known as a loyal ally of Donald Trump, will take the lead at the Justice Department during a period of heightened scrutiny and division. Key figures have expressed concerns over her potential conflicts of interest and implications for civil rights, while others have praised her confirmation as a win for religious liberty. The confirmation comes as the Senate also advances nominations for other positions, including those of RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.
