Pam Bondi has stepped down as Florida's attorney general, effective immediately. Bondi announced her resignation on January 5, 2019, citing her intention to pursue a career in private practice. This move comes after serving as attorney general since 2011.
As Bondi exits the role, speculation surrounds who will replace her. The Florida Cabinet will meet to select a new attorney general, with Governor Ron DeSantis expected to play a significant role in the decision-making process. The new attorney general will be responsible for overseeing the state's law enforcement agencies and advocating for Florida's interests in court.
The search for Bondi's replacement is ongoing, with several candidates reportedly in the running. However, no official announcement has been made regarding the new attorney general, and it is unclear when a decision will be reached. The process is expected to be thorough, with a focus on selecting a qualified and experienced candidate.
