The ink on former Attorney General Jeff Sessions' resignation letter is barely dry, but Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is already being talked about as his potential successor.

Multiple media outlets have named Bondi to Trump's short list, touting her strong ties to the president and the fact that she'll be out of a job soon.

Here's what CQ Roll Call said:

Does Bondi want the job, though? Has she discussed it with Trump? Her office wouldn't say late Wednesday.

"As the Attorney General has repeatedly said, she has not yet made a decision as to what she will do next," spokesman Whitney Ray said.
