President Trump’s abrupt dismissal of Attorney General Pam Bondi on April 2, 2026, amid reported frustrations over Justice Department handling, has elevated Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to acting AG, reshaping trader consensus on Polymarket. Reports from multiple outlets indicate Trump has discussed elevating EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin—longtime ally and former congressman—as the permanent nominee, positioning him at 55.5% implied probability amid his perceived loyalty and readiness for Senate confirmation. Blanche trails at 27.5% as the interim leader, while Texas AG Ken Paxton sits at 6.6% on prior speculation but lacks fresh momentum. Senate Judiciary Committee hearings loom as the next catalyst, with no-announcement odds low at 2.3% signaling expectations of swift action.
