By the time he left office, Trump\u2019s appointees accounted for nearly three out of every 10 judges on the federal bench.<\/p>\n<p>Working closely with Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, then the Republican majority leader, Trump also emphasized appointments to appeals courts, rather than lower-status district courts. He installed 54 judges in the appeals courts in four years, while Obama seated just one more than that across eight years. Nearly one-quarter of Trump\u2019s appointees were appeals-court judges, a greater share than for any other recent president, according to a Pew Research Center analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s appointees were overwhelmingly white and male, and they skewed markedly young, part of his and McConnell\u2019s strategy to leave a lasting imprint on the federal judicial system. Five out of six judges appointed by Trump were white, a higher rate than any president since George H.W. Bush. Three out of four were men.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/03\/30\/us\/politics\/biden-judges-trump.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a diverse initial slate of nominees, the president is starting to try to neutralize his predecessor\u2019s profound influence on the courts.
