The Democratic-led Senate voted on Monday to confirm President Joe Biden's 100th judicial nominee, a milestone that builds on his record of naming the most diverse slate of candidates to the bench in a president's history.
Through the help of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democrats' 51-49 Senate majority, Biden has followed through on his pledge to reshape the federal judiciary with judges who have diversity both in race and ethnicity, as well as professional experience. The Senate voted 54-45 to confirm Gina Mendez-Miro, a district court judge in Puerto Rico, marking the president's 100th confirmed judge.
Trump managed to secure a total of 234 judges over his four-year term in office, including three Supreme Court justices, 54 judges for circuit courts, and 174 judges for district courts. "I think Biden is reluctant to push people in a way that maybe McConnell and Trump are not," Tobias said, noting Sen. Lindsey Graham previously called on older Republican-appointees judges to consider retiring while the GOP maintained a majority in the Senate with then-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell .
