Resolution criteria

Pam Bondi has served as the 87th United States attorney general since 2025. This market resolves YES if Bondi holds the office of Attorney General of the United States on December 31, 2026. Resolution will be verified via official U.S. Department of Justice records or news reports confirming her status as Attorney General on that date. The market resolves NO if she has resigned, been removed, or otherwise ceased serving as Attorney General before or on that date.

Background

Bondi was confirmed by a vote of 54-46 and was sworn in as attorney general on Wednesday, hours after the Senate confirmed her in February 2025. She enters the role with deep ties to the president's orbit, having spoken on Trump's behalf at the 2016 Republican National Convention, served as one of his personal attorneys during his first impeachment trial, and led the legal arm of the America First Policy Institute.

Considerations

Bondi has faced criticism from Democrats, and some Republicans, over the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein files. The Republican-led House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena US Attorney General Pam Bondi for testimony about her role in the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, with the motion passing 24-19 with bipartisan support. While these controversies could theoretically lead to her removal, Cabinet members typically remain in office unless they resign or are formally removed through impeachment and conviction.
