More Biden judges will be confirmed, but four appeals court nominees won’t see a vote under Senate deal | CNN Politics

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : Trump will not have those same advantages next year when he begins his second term, which will start with far fewer judicial vacancies than he had at the start of his first administration.
41% : Senate Republicans then changed a key rule for appellate nominees that made it easier for Trump to fill those vacancies, which further limited the number of circuit openings available for Biden to try to fill.
28% : The deal comes after Trump called for Republicans to do everything they could to stop the Democratic-led Senate from confirming Biden’s remaining judicial nominees before the change of party control in Washington next year.
25% : Those efforts were always going to face headwinds and got more arduous when Trump demanded that Senate Republicans blockade all pending Biden nominees for the bench.
22% : Trump inherited 17 circuit vacancies at the beginning of his first term – in addition to an open Supreme Court seat – in large part because of obstruction tactics by the GOP-controlled Senate at the end of the Obama administration.
