Sheriff Chad Chronister, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Drug Enforcement Administration, withdrew himself from consideration to lead the federal agency on Tuesday night, instead opting to remain sheriff of Hillsborough County, Florida.
He is the second nominee of Trump’s to withdraw his name from consideration. Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, the president-elect’s choice for attorney general, also dropped out last month amid a firestorm of allegations.
As the sheriff of one of Florida’s largest counties that includes the more liberal-leaning city of Tampa, Chronister has long portrayed himself as more of a centrist. He told the Tampa Bay Times in 2019 that he was “the most Democratic of Republicans.”
