The current pace of judicial confirmations for this White House came despite Biden, a Democrat, coming into office in 2021 with far fewer vacancies.
The Senate on Wednesday confirmed the 200th federal judge of President Biden's tenure, about a month earlier than when Donald Trump hit that mark in his term, though Trump still holds the edge when it comes to the most impactful confirmations — those to the Supreme Court and the country's 13 appellate courts. The march to 200 culminated with the confirmation of Angela Martinez as a district court judge in Arizona.
“It's been nothing short of transformative of the federal judiciary in terms of both excellence, but also demographic and professional diversity.” 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.
