"Biden's Historic Muslim Judicial Nominee Faces Senate Opposition"

President Biden's nomination of Adeel Mangi, the first Muslim American to be appointed as a U.S. circuit court judge, is in jeopardy as two Senate Democrats, Catherine Cortez Masto and Joe Manchin, have announced their opposition, citing concerns about his affiliations and lack of bipartisan support. Republicans have also criticized Mangi for his involvement in controversial events and associations. The White House has stood by Mangi, denouncing the criticisms as a smear campaign based on his religion, while Senate Judiciary Committee members have expressed both support and opposition to his nomination.
