On Monday, the GOP-led Senate voted to break the filibuster on President Donald Trump‘s nomination of Pam Bondi to become U.S. Attorney General.
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) reportedly did not vote.
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).
Bondi, a former GOP attorney general of Florida, has endured one of the more hotly-contested nominations from Trump in his second term.
