Democrats Urge Sotomayor to Retire Before Trump's Inauguration

Despite speculation about Justice Sonia Sotomayor's potential retirement from the Supreme Court, changes to the court's composition are unlikely before President-elect Donald Trump takes office for a second term. With Democrats losing control of the Senate and a narrow majority, the confirmation of a new justice before Republicans assume power is improbable. Progressive groups acknowledge it's too late for a pressure campaign, focusing instead on confirming President Biden's remaining judicial nominees.
