PALM BEACH, FL — Former President Donald J. Trump called on Republican senators to prevent further judicial confirmations by the Biden administration, accusing Democrats of attempting to “stack the courts with radical left judges.”
In a social media post shared Tuesday, Trump urged Republican lawmakers to “show up and hold the line,” adding, “No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!” The comments come as judicial appointments continue to move through the Senate during the final weeks of President Joe Biden’s current term.
Trump’s statement reflects ongoing partisan tensions over federal court appointments, an issue that has been a focal point during his presidency and beyond. The former president, who is currently campaigning for the 2024 Republican nomination, has repeatedly emphasized his administration’s success in appointing conservative judges to the federal judiciary.
Democrats, meanwhile, have defended the pace of judicial confirmations, arguing they are fulfilling their constitutional duty to address vacancies while they maintain Senate control. The Biden administration has prioritized diversifying the judiciary in terms of professional backgrounds and demographics.
