Speculation has swirled as to who will be chosen as the next Attorney General

Chris Christie

One serious candidate for the position is former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Christie, 56, has long been friends with Trump and endorsed him after ending his own bid for the White House during the 2016 Republican primaries.

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

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.

Trey Gowdy

The President may opt to look to Congress for his next Attorney General. Should this unfold, some see outgoing Representative Trey Gowdy of South Carolina as a distinct possibility.
