Dan Bishop Considered for U.S. Attorney Role

Former Congressman Dan Bishop is reportedly in the running for the U.S. Attorney position in the Middle District of North Carolina, which covers cities like Durham, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem. Senator Thom Tillis confirmed discussions about Bishop's potential nomination, with Bishop's vetting process likely already underway. Bishop, a sixty-one-year-old Republican from Waxhaw, currently serves in the Trump administration as the deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget. He previously spent three decades as a litigator and served in Congress from 2019 to 2025, representing a district near Charlotte. Bishop's nomination would require a presidential nomination and Senate approval, with Senator Tillis expecting a nomination soon due to the expiring term of the current acting U.S. Attorney. Despite past legislative differences, Senator Tillis believes Bishop is a 'good, solid lawyer' who would likely excel as U.S. Attorney. DNN | The Daily News Now!
