Biden and Senate Democrats try to duplicate the success Trump and Republicans had in confirming federal judges
But the committee will also be sending to the Senate floor several other federal judge nominees, as Democrats push to keep the judiciary confirmation machinery cranking while Jackson dominated the spotlight.
Since Justice Stephen Breyer announced his retirement in late January, the Senate has confirmed 16 lower court judges -- all while Democrats were managing the high-stakes, resource-intensive Supreme Court nomination process. Two district court judges the Senate confirmed on Thursday brought the total of appointees of President Joe Biden on the federal bench up to 58.
Hours after President Joe Biden touted its success during his commencement speech at West Point last Saturday, White House staffers learned that the temporary pier the military had just constructed into Gaza was falling apart. Four Army vessels had been beached, two in Gaza and two along the coast of Israel.
