Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi Heading To Washington?

TAMPA, FL — Florida may soon be in need of a new attorney general. Pam Bondi is reportedly set to accept a position in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.

Word of the possible appointment broke Thursday, but Bondi herself has not yet confirmed a decision to trade her office in Tallahassee for one in the White House.

Bondi has long been speculated as being on Trump’s list of potential hires, but her name was not a roster of appointments Trump announced Wednesday. Even so, multiple media outlets are reporting that Bondi, a long-time Trump supporter, will accept a position in the nation’s capital. Exactly what role she’ll serve in remains unclear.

Bondi was announced as a member of Trump’s transition team shortly after the Republican beat out Democrat Hillary Clinton in the November election.

Bondi, a Tampa native became Florida’s 37th attorney general after winning her first election bid in November 2010. She took office in 2011.

The Republican campaigned on behalf of Trump during his run for the White House, making several rally appearances. She also formally endorsed his run even while fending off probes into Trump’s 2013 donation of $25,000 to a political action committee that backs her.

Bondi was asked about the possible appointment during a Tampa appearance Thursday morning. She declined comment, saying she was happy being attorney general, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

Despite Bondi’s unwillingness to comment, media outlets such as Bloomberg Politics, are reporting she will be named to a post. Bloomberg reporter Jennifer Jacobs tweeted the news late Thursday morning.
