It’s undeniable: President Trump and Senate Republicans have left a lasting legacy on the federal court system with 200 federal judges successfully confirmed.
President Trump promised to appoint highly qualified conservative judges to the bench, and that’s exactly what he’s done.
Vox.com has acknowledged, “based solely on objective legal credentials, the average Trump appointee has a far more impressive résumé than any past president’s nominees.”
So just how far ahead of previous presidents are President Trump and Sen. Mitch McConnell?
- President Trump has been appointing federal judges at a 30% faster rate than Obama.
- President Trump has been appointing appellate judges at a 73% faster rate than Obama.
Take a look at how President Trump, Sen. Mitch McConnell, and Senate Republicans have remade the Judicial Branch in an unprecedented manner:
