Chris Christie

Rudy Giuliani

Another likely contender for the position of Attorney General is longtime Trump supporter and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

William Barr, 68, is notably the only contender who has held the position of Attorney General before, having served in the role from 1991 to 1993 during the George H.W. Bush administration.

Noel Francisco

Another possibility for the Attorney General position is Noel Francisco. Francisco, 49, has served as the Solicitor General of the United States since September 2017 before a stint as the Deputy Solicitor General earlier in 2017.

Pam Bondi

Pam Bondi, 52, currently serves as the Attorney General of Florida since 2011 and has been a longtime friend and political ally of Trump for years.
