Fox News
Sen. Chris Coons is expressing disappointment after President Biden vetoed a bill to establish more federal judgeships.
"I am disappointed by this outcome, for my own state and for the federal judges throughout the country struggling under the burden of ever-higher caseloads. I’ve worked on this bill for years, and thanks to tireless bipartisan effort with Senator Young, it made it to the president’s desk. It’s highly unfortunate that it will not become law," Coons said in a statement on Tuesday.
