Trump taps Florida sheriff as DEA administrator

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : In picking the Florida sheriff to lead the DEA, Trump has selected a law enforcement professional with three decades of experience working for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office but seemingly little time in the national spotlight.
40% : Trump announced the pick on Truth Social, writing that Chronister "will work with our great Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to secure the Border, stop the flow of Fentanyl, and other Illegal Drugs, across the Southern Border, and SAVE LIVES."The change in DEA leadership comes as the agency - and the nation - is still grappling with a drug crisis fueled by the flow of illicit fentanyl primarily made in Mexico with precursor chemicals from China.
38% : The incoming DEA administrator will also helm the agency as it handles a Biden Justice Department proposal to loosen restrictions on marijuana - a measure supported by Trump despite objections from other GOP leaders.
35% : The proposal, if it goes through, would not be finalized until after Trump becomes president.
