  • The day before Florida's 2016 presidential primary, the state attorney general, Pam Bondi, surprised her fellow Republicans and endorsed Donald Trump at a rally in Tampa, her hometown.

The article from WLRN details Pam Bondi's political evolution from a traditional Republican to a staunch Trump supporter. Initially known for her role as Florida's Attorney General, Bondi was seen as a conventional conservative, focusing on issues like consumer protection and law enforcement. However, her alignment with Donald Trump began during his 2016 presidential campaign, where she defended him against various allegations, including the Trump University lawsuit. Post-Trump's presidency, Bondi has continued to be a vocal advocate, appearing on conservative media, working with Trump's political action committee, and even defending him during his impeachments and legal battles. Her transformation reflects a broader shift within the Republican Party, where loyalty to Trump has become a defining feature, overshadowing traditional conservative principles. Bondi's journey illustrates how Trump's influence has reshaped political identities and party dynamics, making her a symbol of the new GOP.
