Trump urges the Senate to confirm 25 judges and 161 nominees before Republicans lose the majority
President Trump posted Monday evening that it is "very important" for the Senate to confirm all 161 pending nominations, including 25 federal judges, before Republicans give up their majority in January, the Washington Examiner reported. The report said resistance from Arkansas's senators threatens one appeals court nominee whose confirmation would give Trump appointees a majority on a federal appeals court for the first time.
