Biden on fast pace for getting federal judges confirmed – but will he match Trump?
Fox News
President Biden on Thursday won Senate confirmation for a seventh nominee to a federal judgeship – putting him on a faster pace than any president in more than a half-century, according to a report.
Trump appointed more than 230 judges during his four years in office, topping three presidents who had served two terms: Obama, Clinton and George W. Bush. Biden’s successful nomination of Candace Jackson-Akiwumi to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit gave him a tally of two successful appeals court nominations and five successful district court nominations since taking office five months ago, the Huffington Post reported. That placed Biden ahead of other recent past presidents in appointing Article III judges – those who hold lifetime appointments on the nation’s highest courts, the report said.More Related News
