Senate Strikes Deal on Biden's Judicial Nominees, Sparing Some for Trump

Senate leaders have reached a deal allowing Democrats to confirm several of President Biden's district court nominees, while dropping efforts to confirm four appellate nominees who faced tough odds. This agreement, criticized by liberal activists, comes as Republicans had been using procedural tactics to delay confirmations. The deal positions Biden to potentially surpass Trump's record for district court confirmations, though he won't match Trump's impact on the appellate bench. Demand Justice criticized the deal for giving Trump future opportunities to appoint judges.

Biden's Judicial Picks Advance Amid GOP Infighting

Senate Democrats confirmed President Biden's 220th lifetime judicial appointment, with more confirmations expected before Thanksgiving. The absence of some Republican senators facilitated the confirmations without Vice President Kamala Harris's tie-breaking vote. Democrats aim to surpass the 234 judges confirmed during Trump's first term. Meanwhile, controversy surrounds Pete Hegseth's nomination for Defense Secretary, with allegations of sexual assault and mixed Republican support. Additionally, Rep. Mary Peltola lost her Alaska seat to Republican Nick Begich III, amid debates over natural resource policies.
