Senate Democrats plan to confirm dozens of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees before the end of the year, even though Democrats in last week’s elections retained control of the chamber’s judicial confirmation process.
Senate Judiciary Chair Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill., the chamber’s majority whip, said the party wants to get through as many of the nominees as possible by the end of the year.
Nominations expire at the end of the Congress, so Biden would have to renominate the judicial picks and then start the Senate process over when the new Congress starts.
