The U.S. Senate's Democratic majority has initiated efforts to confirm a significant number of federal judges nominated by President Joe Biden. This push aims to fill judicial vacancies before Republican Donald Trump assumes office on January 20, 2024. The urgency of this campaign reflects concerns among Democrats about potential vacancies that could be filled by Trump, thereby influencing the judiciary for years to come. The confirmation process began on Tuesday, as Democrats seek to solidify their judicial legacy ahead of the impending transition of power.
