Biden Vows to Veto Bill Allowing Trump Judicial Nominations Amid Democratic Pushback
TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden has threatened to veto a bill that would expand the number of federal judges, a move that would allow President-elect Donald Trump to make new judicial appointments. The bill, spearheaded by Sen. Chris Coons, aimed to create 63 new judgeships to ease court burdens. However, Biden opposes the timing, as it would hand Trump 22 new appointments. Despite bipartisan support in the Senate, Democratic leaders are urging opposition in the House, and Biden has pledged to veto the bill if it passes.
