Kamala Harris’s team is considering potential nominees for attorney general in case she defeats Donald Trump and becomes president. Harris, a former prosecutor, has a good relationship with current Attorney General Merrick Garland but wants to bring in new leadership if she wins. Possible nominees include North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, former Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta, and U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams. Harris has a strong team of Justice Department veterans supporting her campaign, as she navigates delicate issues related to the DOJ, especially in relation to Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. The Harris campaign is preparing for the possibility that Trump may once again claim victory regardless of the outcome of the election. If Harris becomes president, her choice for attorney general will play a crucial role in shaping the future of the Justice Department, especially in the aftermath of Trump’s chaotic presidency and his attempts to interfere in the electoral process.
