President-elect Donald Trump was praised Thursday evening after announcing that he had nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to be his U.S. Attorney General.

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who was Trump’s pick for attorney general until he removed his name from consideration on Thursday afternoon, said that he was excited about her nomination.

“@PamBondi is a stellar selection by President Trump for Attorney General,” he said. “Pam and I worked closely together when she was Florida’s Attorney General and I chaired Criminal Justice in the state house.”

“She’s a proven litigator, an inspiring leader and a champion for all Americans,” he continued. “She will bring the needed reforms to DOJ.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said: “@PamBondi excelled as Attorney General of Florida and has dedicated her career to enforcing the law. She will work with President Trump to end the weaponization of the justice system and uphold the rule of law. Pam will be a great Attorney General.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also congratulated Bondi on the nomination.

“She will put America First, and we’ve got her back in Texas!” he said. “I look forward to working with you!”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that he collaborated with Bondi when he served as Texas’ Attorney General.

“She will be a steadfast fighter for what is right and restore respect for the rule of law,” he said.

“@PamBondi is a tough-as-nails former prosecutor and one of the best in the game,” said Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares. “As one AG to another? The US Department of Justice will be in excellent hands.”

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody said: “Congratulations to my friend, @PamBondi. Pam will be an excellent U.S. Attorney General.”

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) said: “Congrats to my friend @PamBondi. She’ll be an incredible Attorney General. Great choice @realDonaldTrump!”
