## Trump Accidentally Helps Dems Get Key Judicial Nominees Approved By Taking Republicans To SpaceX Launch

Authored by ibtimes.com

As Republicans have been trying to drag down the process of getting Joe Biden's judicial nominees approved, Republican senators warned that Donald Trump was hurting their progress by taking some members of Congress to watch the SpaceX launch, causing them to miss votes.

Sen. JD Vance and Sen. Marco Rubio were among senators who missed the opportunity to cast their votes Tuesday, leading fellow Republicans to express their frustrations.

Other senators were also reportedly absent the day prior, according to Punchbowl News and shared to X.

Democrats have been trying to push through Biden's judicial nominees before he leaves office in January.

With 44 vacancies and 14 current nominees, Democrats are trying to meet or exceed the number of judicial nominees confirmed during the Trump administration.

During his first term, 234 Trump nominees were confirmed, while 217 Biden nominees have been confirmed.

Republicans did the same thing following the 2020 election, confirming 19 judicial nominees before Biden took office. »
