The White House
WASHINGTON – President Biden is announcing his intent to nominate 3 additional individuals to District Court vacancies, all of whom are immensely qualified and devoted to the rule of law and our Constitution. These candidates also speak to the President’s strong belief that the federal judiciary should reflect the proud diversity of the nation, both in terms of personal and professional backgrounds.
This is the second judicial nominations announcement made by the President, and these nominations will bring the full number of judicial nominees made during this administration to 14.
President Biden has spent decades committed to strengthening the federal bench, which is why he continues to move at a historically fast pace with respect to judicial nominations. Last month’s announcement of his intent to nominate 11 individuals was faster than any President in modern history, and today’s announcement continues that trend.
Democrats, narrowly controlling the Senate for the first time in eight years, are eager to turn the page from the Trump administration, especially when it comes to judges.
