On January 21, 2025, Congressman Scott Franklin voiced his support for Pam Bondi as the U.S. Attorney General. He highlighted her "proven track record fighting for Floridians" and expressed confidence that she would continue to stand "strong against crime and corruption for ALL Americans." "Former FL Attorney General Pam Bondi has a proven track record fighting for Floridians. As US Attorney General, I know she'll continue standing strong against crime and corruption for ALL Americans."

The following day, January 22, 2025, Franklin congratulated Marco Rubio on his unanimous confirmation as Secretary of State. He praised Rubio's preparedness to "project strength," advance American interests, and restore a strong foreign policy under President Trump's administration. "Congratulations to my friend, @secrubio, on being unanimously confirmed Secretary of State! I can’t think of anyone better prepared to project strength, advance American interests and restore a STRONG American foreign policy. Great pick by President Trump!"

Later that day, Franklin commented on President Trump's recent executive orders aimed at reversing policies from the previous four years. He emphasized the role of Congress in codifying these changes into law and invited followers to view his interview with NewsNation for further insights. "It's morning again in America! President Trump turned the page on the last four years with the Executive Orders he’s signing... Now it’s Congress’ job to get things codified into law."
