Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was reportedly among the four Republican senators to sink Matt Gaetz\u2019s bid to be confirmed as attorney general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According<\/a> to The New York Times<\/em>\u2018 Jonathan Swan, \u201cMatt Gaetz told people close to him that he concluded after conversations with senators and their staffs that there were at least four Republican senators who were implacably opposed to his nomination: Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and John Curtis of Utah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGaetz told confidants he did not want to get in a protracted confirmation battle and delay Trump from getting his attorney general in place immediately at the start of his administration,\u201d added Swan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaetz announced his withdrawal in a statement on X:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback \u2013 and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump\/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I\u2019ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump\u2019s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1. I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I\u2019m certain he will Save America.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Following his sudden withdrawal President-elect Trump opted to nominate former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for the position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read Trump’s full statement:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am proud to announce former Attorney General of the Great State of Florida, Pam Bondi, as our next Attorney General of the United States. Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, where she was very tough on Violent Criminals, and made the streets safe for Florida Families. Then, as Florida\u2019s first female Attorney General, she worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs, and reduce the tragedy of Fentanyl Overdose Deaths, which have destroyed many families across our Country. She did such an incredible job, that I asked her to serve on our Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission during my first Term \u2014 We saved many lives!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore. Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again. I have known Pam for many years \u2014 She is smart and tough, and is an AMERICA FIRST Fighter, who will do a terrific job as Attorney General!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
