President Trump ran in 2016 with a promise to transform the country’s courts. And in less than four years, it’s one that he has kept, successfully running a record number of nominees through the Senate’s confirmation process.
In Trump’s one term, the Senate confirmed all three of his Supreme Court picks. By the end of 2020, the Republican-led body will have confirmed 234 of his Article III judicial nominees, 54 appeals court nominees, and 174 district court nominees. His performance sets several records for a one-term president.
