WASHINGTON - President-elect Joe Biden s search for the next attorney general is increasingly focused on Sen. Doug Jones, D-Ala., and former deputy attorney general Sally Yates, according to people familiar with the discussions, who said that appeals court Judge Merrick Garland remains a serious contender.
Jones, who lost his reelection bid in November, is the favorite at this stage, but Biden and his inner circle continue to debate the nomination, these people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions.
