President Biden is close to achieving his 235th judicial confirmation, surpassing Trump’s total due to a focus on diversity and representation in the federal courts.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer noted the likely completion of two judicial confirmations this Friday as the last of the year, emphasizing the importance of the appointments.
Sen. Dick Durbin highlighted the deliberate effort to increase diversity on the federal bench, stating that moving away from an overwhelmingly white male judiciary will enhance the court's image.
Biden’s administration has appointed about two-thirds women and a majority of people of color, including Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, to bolster representation on the Supreme Court.
