Biden Appointing More Black Women Judges Than Any Other President

The White House says adding more diverse judges to the federal courts remains a priority for the president.

Ebony M. Scott on Monday became the twelfth Black woman confirmed to a seat on the federal court under President Biden, continuing his pledge to diversify the federal bench. 

"President Biden gets an A-rating for his judicial appointments," Judith Browne Dianis said. 

Of the 45 judicial nominees appointed to federal courts so far, 69% are people of color and 75% are women. No president has appointed a higher share of either.
