McConnell criticizes federal judges for reversing retirement decisions as 'open partisanship'
Fox News
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., criticized two U.S. district court judges who reversed plans to retire after former President Trump won re-election.
"Looking to history, only two judges have ever unretired after a presidential election. One Democrat in 2004 and one Republican in 2009. But now, in just a matter of weeks, Democrats have already met that all-time record. It's hard to conclude that this is anything other than open partisanship," McConnell said in remarks delivered on the Senate floor. Chris Pandolfo is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
