The Biden Administration Needs Home State Senators Support on District Court Nominees

President Biden surpassed 100 judicial confirmations last week, including Katanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

Finding common ground with Republicans will be vital to the Biden administration since 38 of the 56 trial court vacancies without a pending nominee are in red states.
