Biden to announce 5th wave of judicial nominees as Democrats aim to maintain quick pace of confirmations to federal bench
CNN
President Joe Biden plans to announce eight new federal judicial nominations on Wednesday as the White House seeks to maintain its rapid pace of nominations -- and confirmations -- to the federal bench.
The announcement, which will mark Biden's fifth wave of judicial nominees, will include two circuit court selections and comes as Democrats are pressing to quickly fill openings across the federal judiciary with their slim majority in the US Senate. It's a central priority for Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat who has already shepherded seven judicial nominees through to confirmation, including two high-profile circuit court selections in recent weeks.
