The 56 year old former mayor from Warren County also served as chairman of the Republican State Party during President Trump's 2020 reelection campaign and briefly sought the GOP nomination for governor in 2021 as a hard line pro-Trump candidate.
As first reported by NJ Globe, Steinhart will serve in an acting capacity, replacing Viegas Cano, who became acting U.S. attorney earlier this month following Phillip Salinger's resignation.
In a statement, the New Jersey Republican Party congratulated the nomination, calling Steinhart a steadfast leader and dedicated public servant who puts his community first.
The nomination to be the state's top law enforcement official at the federal level now needs Senate confirmation, including the backing of New Jersey's two Democratic U.S. senators, Cory Booker and Andy Kim.
