Great to see seven female judicial nominees announced by the White House today! This new slate would continue to bring much needed personal and professional diversity to our federal judiciary. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/… #CourtsMatter
Already this week, we've seen encouraging progress on judicial nominations with 3 confirmations, bringing us to 193 for this administration. This is 41 short of the prior administration. We need more weeks like this one to close that gap #CourtsMatter

Great to see more district confirmations this week, with the potential for more! The Senate needs to continue prioritizing judicial confirmations to clear the backlog of nominees from last year. #CourtsMatter

To balance the courts, the Senate needs to ensure that President Biden matches or exceeds Trump's total of 234 judicial appointments in 4 years. This will require the Senate to confirm upwards of 70 judges this year. The Senate can do this if it picks up the pace!
