Schumer, Durbin, and Whitehouse voted against vast majority of Trump minority appeals court nominees
Fox News
While the White House is already implying that opposition to a Biden Supreme Court nominee could be racist, some Democrat senators opposed many of former President Donald Trump's minority picks for the federal courts.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., meanwhile, voted against 81% of such nominees, according to the analysis. And Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., one of the most vocal members of the Judiciary Committee, voted against 71% of Trump's minority appeals court nominees.
The analysis by the Article III Project also identifies dozens of other minority federal court nominees from Trump and former President George W. Bush that at least one the three senators opposed.
