Having enjoyed a decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris on Election Night 2024, President-elect Donald Trump and his MAGA allies are now in the process of putting together a new administration. The fact that Republicans flipped the U.S. Senate will make it easier for Trump’s Cabinet picks to be confirmed.
It remains to be seen who Trump will nominate for U.S. attorney general. Judge Aileen Cannon, the Trump appointee who dismissed special counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents case, is being mentioned as a possibility.
Another is MAGA lawyer Mike Davis, who called for retaliation against Democrats following Trump’s victory.

In a November 6 post on X, formerly Twitter, Davis wrote, “Here’s my current mood: I want to drag their dead political bodies through the streets, burn them, and throw them off the wall. (Legally, politically, and financially, of course.).”
In a separate tweet, Davis blamed Democrats for the assassination attempts Trump survived during his 2024 campaign.
Davis tweeted, “F*** unity. We have the votes. And they tried to kill Trump.”
GOP fundraiser Caroline Wren, in a recent interview with Politico, predicted that Trump would use Davis in some capacity if he won the election.

Wren told Politico, “If he isn’t the attorney general, he’s going to play some sort of role.”
The Independent’s Rhian Lubin notes, “Davis is one of Trump’s biggest defenders on social media and has said he would help the president-elect ‘appoint even more bold and fearless judges’ in his second term. He also praised Trump for ‘transforming’ the Supreme Court. Prior to his inflammatory post on X, Davis has come under fire for other controversial ‘jokes’ about the press, for threatening to ‘cage children’ and for vowing to throw rivals in ‘the gulag.'”
