Senate Deal Secures Judicial Wins for Both Biden and Trump

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer reached a late-night deal with Republicans to advance over a dozen judicial confirmations, despite having to drop four nominees. This move keeps Schumer on track to potentially match or surpass the Trump administration's record of 234 judicial confirmations. The agreement allows for upcoming votes on seven nominees, with more nominations expected to be advanced by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Republicans managed to keep four circuit court slots open for when they gain the majority next year.
