The Senate is set to confirm the 200th federal judge of President Joe Biden’s tenure.
FILE-- Gavels and law books are shown, July 14, 2010 in San Francisco, Calif. The Senate is set to confirm the 200th federal judge of President Joe Biden s tenure. That's about a month before then-President Donald Trump hit the 200 threshold. Trump still holds the edge when it comes to the most impactful confirmations those to the U.S. Supreme Court and the countrys 13 appellate courts.
It's unclear whether Biden can eclipse his predecessor's 234 judges before the year ends. Democrats have solidly backed the president's judicial nominees, but there have been some cracks in that resolve in recent weeks. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said he would not support nominees who don't have some bipartisan support, and the two Democratic senators from Nevada are opposing a nominee who would become the nation's.
White House officials say they have no illusions about the challenges they face but feel reaching 235 is possible. That doesn't please Republicans. At this stage in his term, Trump had two Supreme Court justices and 51 appellate court judges confirmed to lifetime appointments. Biden has tapped one Supreme Court justice and 42 appellate court judges. Biden has more confirmations of the district judges who handle civil and criminal cases. Those nominations tend to be less hard fought.
Under Biden, more Hispanic judges have been confirmed to the appellate courts than any other administration.
