'What a disaster': This Trump Cabinet official is tanking fast

CNN analyst Harry Enten had some bad numbers for U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, whose popularity is collapsing among Trump’s cabinet officials, surpassing even that of controversial anti-vaxx Secretary of Health and Human Services RFK jr.
“What a disaster for Pam Bondi, and therefore Trump,” Enten told CNN anchor Kate Bolduan. “If I'm Donald Trump, I'm just going, ‘what the heck is going on here?’” said Enten, referring to an aggregate Quinnipiac survey of Trump cabinet officials who are underwater.
“Okay. So, Pam Bondi was already underwater and I wouldn't be surprised if she goes underwater more,” said Enten. “Take a look here at the net popularity of Trump cabinet members. Look who has the lowest number on your screen right here. Look how far underwater Bondi is at -19 points. Now, none of the folks on your screen here are in positive territory, but none of them are as far underwater as Pam Bondi.”

The same survey cast RFK Jr. at -7, State Secretary Marco Rubio at -10, DHS Secretary Christy Noem at -11 and Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at -13.
“She is, at least by the numbers that I'm looking at, the least liked member of Donald Trump's cabinet. And it ain't even close,” Enten said, pointing to Bondi’s performance in handling the Epstein files.
“Nobody — nobody — likes how the Trump administration has been handling them. Of course, she's been a key leadership role. I mean, look at this: Approval of Trump on the Epstein files is just 19 percent — 19 percent of all adults, and 67 percent disapprove. Among Democrats, it's 2 percent, independents, 12 percent. And even among Republicans, you can't even get to 50 percent approval,” said Enten pointing to the administration’s dismal 44 percent.
“And of course, this just goes all the way back to who is the biggest pain in the rear end in the Donald Trump administration for him. Who is he having to answer for? Oftentimes, it's for Pam Bondi, and the free speech situation is just another example of that,” said Enten.

Enten added that Bondi’s recent vow to prosecute “hate speech” — which is protected by the Constitution — sparked a 186 percent jump in Google searches for “free speech” this week.
