However, his past controversies may pose challenges during Senate confirmation.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sen.

His legal acumen and alignment with Trump&rsquo;s views position him as a strategic choice for attorney general.<\/p>\n<p>The choice of Lee could be difficult, however, as Republicans would likely prefer to keep ahold of their new majority in the Senate.
