White House Steps Up Judicial Confirmation Efforts

“The White House is redoubling its efforts to nominate and win confirmation for as many judges as possible after hitting an unwelcome milestone last month: The Senate has confirmed fewer judges since President Biden took office than it had at this point during President Donald Trump’s tenure,” the Washington Post reports.

“Biden is only slightly behind.”

“As of Aug. 9, the Senate has confirmed 140 judges since Biden took office, including Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, compared with 146 at this point in the Trump administration, according to data compiled by the American Constitution Society (ACS), a liberal judicial advocacy nonprofit organization.”
