Trump Pushes GOP to Block Biden's Judicial Nominees Before Inauguration

President-elect Donald Trump has called for a halt in confirming President Joe Biden's judicial nominees until he takes office, accusing Democrats of trying to stack the courts. Senate Republicans, led by soon-to-be leader Sen. John Thune, have begun obstructing the confirmation process, reversing their previous stance on judicial appointments. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is pushing to confirm as many judges as possible before the end of Biden's term, highlighting the diversity and qualifications of the nominees confirmed under his leadership.
