Florida Democratic Party Responds to Trump's Second Choice for AG from Florida

November 21, 2024

On Nov 21st, Donald Trump announced Pam Bondi as his second choice  to serve as the next U.S. Attorney General. The announcement came after Matt Gaetz withdrew his nomination from consideration. In response, the Florida Democratic Party released the following statement: 

“Americans dodged a bullet with Gaetz’s withdrawal but Trump’s second choice for Attorney General is no better,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. “Don’t forget — Pam Bondi tried to take healthcare away from millions of Floridians. She was the ring leader in the attempt to sue the Affordable Care Act out of existence and overturn the pre-existing conditions rule. She filed the original suit and was the lead plaintiff on the case seeking to dismantle affordable care. When Donald Trump says he’s going to end the ACA, believe him now that he’s nominated Pam Bondi to finish the job.

“When she’s not taking checks from Trump in exchange for immunity, she’s defending him from impeachment. Bondi’s nomination proves that the only qualification that matters to Trump is loyalty. Her confirmation would have devastating consequences for Floridians and the American people.”
