Senate Confirms 235th Judge Serena Murillo in 49-47 Vote, Biden Surpasses Trump's Record
Dec 21, 2024, 12:17 AM
On December 20, 2024, the U.S. Senate confirmed President Biden's 235th federal judge, surpassing the 234 judges confirmed during Donald Trump's first term. This milestone was marked by the confirmation of Judge Serena Murillo to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California by a 49-47 vote. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Judiciary Committee Chairman Senator Dick Durbin celebrated the achievement, noting that it represents the highest number of judicial confirmations under any administration in recent decades. Schumer highlighted that one out of every four active judges on the bench has been appointed by the current majority. Approximately 85% of these judges were confirmed with bipartisan support. This accomplishment signifies the Democratic-led Senate's commitment to shaping the federal judiciary and is considered one of the biggest achievements of Senate Democrats. The confirmations are seen as a lifelong frontline defense against attacks on democracy and freedoms.
