McConnell Condemns Judges for Reversing Retirement After Trump's Victory

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell criticized two federal judges for reversing their retirement plans, preventing Donald Trump from filling their seats. McConnell accused the judges of partisanship after Trump's reelection, suggesting their decisions were politically motivated. The judges, appointed by Clinton and Obama, had initially planned to take senior status but remained active due to stalled nominations. McConnell's remarks drew comparisons to past Republican actions, such as blocking Merrick Garland's Supreme Court nomination. The situation highlights ongoing partisan tensions over judicial appointments.
