Biden, Dems race to beat Trump's record on confirmed judges as election looms
Fox News
Biden and Democrats are hoping to use the remaining time in his term to confirm more federal judges than Trump managed to during his term.
So far, Democrats have succeeded in confirming 205 of Biden's judicial nominees, matching the 205 judges Trump confirmed at that point in his term.

"If Democrats lose the White House, there will be a lot of pressure on Senator Schumer to confirm as many judicial nominees as possible to help cement President Biden’s legacy on this issue," said Ron Bonjean, a former spokesman for former Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., and former chief of staff of the Senate Republican Conference.
