Quick Summary

President Donald Trump is urging the Senate to confirm 25 pending federal judge nominees before Republicans lose their majority in January. This push faces resistance from Arkansas’s senators over one particular nominee, which if confirmed would give Trump appointees a majority on a federal appeals court for the first time. Trump emphasized this priority by posting about it on Truth Social.

Story summary

As of November 10, 2026, President Donald Trump is urging the Republican-led Senate to confirm his 161 outstanding nominations, including 25 federal judges, before Democrats take control in January. This push comes after Democrats won seven new seats last Tuesday, flipping the majority in both chambers and leaving only two races undecided in Alaska and Mississippi. Additionally, resistance from Arkansas’s senators is threatening a nominee whose confirmation would give Trump appointees a majority on a federal appeals court for the first time. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has vowed to block any conservative-leaning Supreme Court justice nominee should a vacancy arise during President Trump's term.
