The U.S. Senate has confirmed Embry Kidd to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, with a vote tally of 49-45. Kidd is notable for being only the second Black man appointed to a federal appeals court in the last decade. His confirmation marks President Joe Biden's second appointment to this court, which serves Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. Kidd previously contributed to a law review article discussing the racial implications of child rape statutes, highlighting the ongoing discourse around racial issues in legal contexts. Senate Democrats, led by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, facilitated the vote as part of a broader agenda to confirm judicial nominees.
