Race Against Time: Democrats Aim to Confirm Biden's Judges Before Power Shift

Senate Democrats are rushed off their feet. They are trying to confirm numerous federal judges chosen by President Joe Biden in a short timeframe. The clock's ticking, as they only have seven weeks before the new Congress is sworn in, and control of the Senate shifts to the Republicans. This whirlwind of activity started after the Democrats lost their majority in recent elections. Trump's team is crying foul, demanding no judges should be approved during this period, which is ironic since they approved his picks post-election loss a few years back. The White House is pushing hard, urging senators to work overtime. This powerful pushwill depend on high Democratic attendance to pass Biden's liberal-leaning nominees, including many women and ethnic minorities. Republicans are determined to resist, so moderate Democrats might cause a roadblock. The race is on to secure these appointments before the Senate changes hands.
