Senate Democrats Urged to Confirm Biden Judges Amid GOP Takeover

With a Republican Senate majority incoming, Democrats face pressure to expedite judicial confirmations before losing control.

Progressive groups, like Demand Justice, are lobbying Senate Democrats to confirm pending Biden judicial nominees during the lame-duck session.
President-elect Donald Trump's victory and the GOP Senate majority heighten the urgency for Democrats to solidify Biden's judicial appointments.
Currently, 17 nominees have advanced out of committee, while others await hearings or votes, with time running short before Democratic control ends.
Senate Democrats face a packed legislative agenda, including disaster aid and defense bills, complicating efforts to focus on judicial confirmations.
Concerns grow over Trump's potential to appoint more conservative justices, shaping the Supreme Court's ideological balance for decades.
