ms. bondi made history as the first woman elected as florida attorney general. she served for eight years and was easily reelected to a second term because she did such a great job. she fought against pill mills, eliminated the backlog of rape test kits and stood for law and order. there's no doubt that ms. bondi's highly qualified. she's capable of doing the job well and represents main street by at least 77 million americans who voted for change in the 2024 election. this should earn her the same bipartisan support this body gave to attorney general garland, including this senator. i'm disappointed that none of my democratic colleagues on the judiciary committee voted for ms. bondi and i hope the full senate takes a different approach if my colleagues -- 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 are purely partisan reasons. ms. bondi's ready and able to serve our country and she'll work with presiden
