"Controversy Surrounds Nomination of First Muslim American Appeals Court Judge"

President Biden's nomination of Adeel A. Mangi, the first Muslim American appeals court judge, is in jeopardy as a third Democratic senator, Jacky Rosen, has opposed him due to concerns over his ties to certain organizations. Mangi has faced accusations of being antisemitic and anti-police, leading to opposition from other Democratic senators and Republican criticism. The White House is working to garner support for Mangi, but his confirmation now hinges on securing backing from moderate Republicans. If his nomination fails, it would be a rare setback for Biden's efforts to diversify the federal judiciary.
