<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate</a> Democrats have pushed back the schedule to consider the nomination of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pam-bondi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pam Bondi</a>, who is President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>&#8216;s nominee to be U.S. attorney general, by at least a week.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, the Judiciary Committee sent out a notice announcing that a planned Wednesday meeting, at which members could have voted to advance Bondi&#8217;s nomination to the full Senate, had been called off.</p>
<p>&#8220;Per Judiciary Committee <a href="https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/committee/rules" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rule</a> I.3, any member of the Committee may request an item on the Committee’s agenda be held over for a minimum of seven days. Holds are common practice in the Senate Judiciary Committee,&#8221; the notice said.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-dems-will-try-all-sorts-of-tricks-to-delay-cabinet-confirmations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RELATED: Trump Says Dems ‘Will Try All Sorts Of Tricks’ To Delay Cabinet Confirmations</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Pursuant to this rule, the Minority will hold Bondi&#8217;s nomination for seven days. As a result of this hold, which goes into effect tomorrow, the Committee will not meet in person for this week&#8217;s executive business meeting,&#8221; the advisory added.</p>
<p>The Judiciary Committee, which is led by Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), said it expects to convene next week on January 29 and hold a final vote on Bondi&#8217;s nomination at that time.</p>
<p>Bondi, a former attorney general of Florida, <a href="https://x.com/SenJudiciaryGOP/status/1879569942150058288" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testified</a> before the Judiciary Committee in a confirmation hearing last week.</p>
<p>&#8220;If confirmed, I will fight everyday 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. America will have one tier of justice for all.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bondi made waves when she <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbKJhkeTp6I" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clashed</a> with some of the committee&#8217;s Democrat members, including Sens. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Alex Padilla (D-CA).</p>
<p>&#8220;Senator, what I can tell you is that I will never play politics,&#8221; Bondi <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bondi-demolishes-schiff-when-he-taunts-her" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at one point to Schiff. &#8220;You’re trying to engage me in a &#8216;gotcha.&#8217; I won’t play politics with any ongoing investigation like you did.&#8221;</p>

<p>As of press time, the GOP-led Senate has confirmed just one of Trump&#8217;s Cabinet nominees: now-former senator from Florida, Marco Rubio, who on Tuesday was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marco-rubio-sworn-in-says-war-in-ukraine-must-end" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sworn in</a> to office as U.S. Secretary of State.</p>
<p>Other nominees are working their way through the confirmation process.</p>
<p><a href="https://x.com/CraigCaplan/status/1881476717325558114" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Ratcliffe</a>, Trump&#8217;s nominee to become CIA director, <a href="https://x.com/AndrewDesiderio/status/1881738624582246789" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expected</a> to get a final confirmation vote as early as later on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Punchbowl News reporter Andrew Desiderio posted on X that Democrats are &#8220;plotting&#8221; a slowdown of the nomination of Pete Hegseth to be defense secretary after he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-advances-pete-hegseths-nomination-to-become-defense-secretary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advanced</a> out of committee on Monday.</p>
