HERE&rsquo;S HOW TRUMP STACKS UP IN WHITE HOUSE HISTORY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The JUDGES Act was already passed by the Democratic-controlled Senate in August, but Biden announced earlier this week that he would oppose the bill, citing concerns over the timing of and motivations for the legislation following President-elect&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a>&rsquo;s victory.<\/p>\n<p>Many Democrats who had originally backed the legislation began slowly withdrawing their support this week. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) criticized Republicans for waiting until after the election, stating, &ldquo;Donald Trump has made clear he intends to expand presidential power, and this bill hands him another tool to do so.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>However, many Republicans called the bill the &ldquo;right thing to do&rdquo; and said several of the judges would be appointed in states led with Democratic senators. The legislation had the support of GOP leadership, as well, with Speaker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Mike-Johnson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Mike Johnson<\/a> (R-LA) saying the need for judges is dire due to the nearly 750,000 pending cases in federal courts.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Were the legislation to become law, it would automatically give Trump 11 more judgeship slots to fill in 2025 and 11 in 2027. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">president-elect successfully confirmed 234 federal judges<\/a> during his first term, and Biden is approaching that total, at 233 as of Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>If Biden does veto, it will likely be difficult to get the two-thirds majority needed to override the veto. But Republicans like Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Chip-Roy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Chip Roy<\/a> (R-TX) are confident the bill can be revived next year when there is a GOP trifecta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1890749\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1890749\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House passes bipartisan JUDGES Act despite Biden&#8217;s veto threat<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2648,"featured_media":2379295,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jim-jordan-house-illegal-immigration-subpoena.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[46657,3667,46656,46655,32076],"class_list":["post-2379294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden-veto","tag-bipartisan","tag-house-passes","tag-judges-act","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jim-jordan-house-illegal-immigration-subpoena.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2379294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2648"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2379294"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2379294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2379298,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2379294\/revisions\/2379298"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2379295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2379294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2379294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2379294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
