<p>On Monday, the GOP-led <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate</a> voted to break the filibuster on President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>&#8216;s nomination of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pam-bondi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pam Bondi</a> to become U.S. Attorney General.</p>
<p>The vote to invoke cloture on the Cabinet nominee was 52-46 along party lines. Sens. John Fetterman (D-PA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) <a href="https://x.com/CraigCaplan/status/1886568030265545027" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> did not vote.</p>
<p>A final confirmation vote is expected to take place in the next day or two. A simple majority will be needed for Bondi to lead the Department of Justice (DOJ).</p>
<p>Bondi, a former GOP attorney general of Florida, has endured one of the more hotly-contested  nominations from Trump in his second term.</p>
<p>Democrats who oppose the pick have raised concerns about Bondi siding with wealthy special interests and doing Trump&#8217;s bidding for political purposes.</p>
<p>They have <a href="https://x.com/JudiciaryDems/status/1886542403122717161" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demanded</a> records from Bondi, FBI director nominee Kash Patel, and acting leaders in response to the reassignment or removal of senior DOJ officials.</p>
<p>Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) argued there was &#8220;no doubt&#8221; Bondi is &#8220;highly qualified,&#8221; citing her work as Florida attorney general.</p>
<p>&#8220;If my colleagues won’t cross the aisle for this qualified nominee, they’ll show that they’re intent on opposing President Trump’s picks for purely partisan reasons,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>During a confirmation hearing earlier this month before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Bondi <a href="https://x.com/SenJudiciaryGOP/status/1879569942150058288" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testified</a> about prioritizing a revival of trust in the DOJ.</p>
<p>&#8220;I will fight every day to restore confidence and integrity to the Department of Justice and each of its components,&#8221; Bondi <a href="https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1879549046958047285" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;The partisanship, the weaponization, will be gone.&#8221;</p>
<p>After Democrats placed a one-week hold on the nomination, which was allowed under the rules, Bondi <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/after-democrats-delay-ag-nom-pam-bondi-advances-to-full-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advanced</a> out of committee by a 12-10 <a href="https://x.com/kyledcheney/status/1884610844035621168" target="_blank" rel="noopener">along party lines</a>.</p>
<p>Several other Trump nominees have been confirmed by the Senate, including Christopher Wright, who <a href="https://x.com/SenatePPG/status/1886559279689118168" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received</a> the nod to become energy secretary on Monday.</p>
<p>The Senate also <a href="https://x.com/SenatePress/status/1886553367721222246" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted</a> to proceed with the nomination of Russell Vought, Trump&#8217;s pick to once again serve as director of the Office of Management and Budget.</p>
<p>Doug Collins, Trump&#8217;s pick to lead the Department of Veteran Affairs, may soon get a confirmation vote after cloture was <a href="https://x.com/SenatePPG/status/1885128624543551728" target="_blank" rel="noopener">invoked</a> on his nomination last week.</p>
<p>Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence nominee; and Robert F. Kennedy, the pick to lead HHS; and Patel <a href="https://x.com/SenMullin/status/1886547470793990620" target="_blank" rel="noopener">face committee votes</a> in the coming days.</p>
<p>Like with Bondi, if the remaining nominees advance out of committee, leadership will then be expected to move toward a final confirmation vote for each of them.</p>
