Will Joe Biden continue to outspace Donald Trump in the Senate? Details inside
Joe Biden's campaign could come to a standstill if Republicans take over the Senate. The elections will soon decide whether that will happen. Biden has won federal judge confirmation by the Senate for over 80 of his nominees.

Similarly, Trump had 69 at his judges installed at his time. Mitch McConnell, Senate Republican Leader, and Trump hit the peddle in Trump's term's second half bringing the number to 231 judges. It included three judges for the Supreme Court who voted for the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Trumping over others
Jimmy Carter was the last to top Trump. Over two terms, Obama and Bush managed to secure 325 judges each for Supreme Courts, District Courts, and Circuit Courts. Biden has picked many Asian American, Latino, and Black judges and fewer corporate lawyers and prosecutors. However, will Biden outpace Trump? The upcoming midterms will answer that, and the current situation means that Republicans just need one gain to get a majority as they stand split at 50-50. Chuck Schumer, Senate Majority Leader, has three months left to bring in more judges in his current session.
