U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia has confirmed her support for Pam Bondi as the new Attorney General of the United States. Following the Senate vote, Senator Capito released a statement highlighting Bondi’s extensive legal background and her commitment to key issues such as the drug crisis, violent crime, human trafficking, and recidivism.
“Pam Bondi has an accomplished legal career as both a state prosecutor for nearly two decades and a two-term Florida Attorney General and has consistently demonstrated her respect for the law,” stated Senator Capito. She further expressed confidence in Bondi’s ability to focus on “the rule of law and restoring trust and respect back to the Department of Justice.”
Prior to this confirmation, Senator Capito met with Bondi in January 2025 to discuss her nomination and understand her vision for leading the department.
