President Joe Biden is well positioned to finish his presidency having placed more judges on the federal bench than former President Donald Trump .

But the Democrat will not be able to replicate Trump ’s transformation of the appellate courts that hand down the most influential rulings.

When Trump entered the White House there were 17 appeals court vacancies, as well as an unfilled Supreme Court seat, when Biden became president.

Biden can match Trump ’s total number of confirmed circuit court judges by the end of his term.

Democrats have touted diversity they’ve injected into the judiciary both in the traditional terms of gender, race and ethnicity, and in the form of so-called “professional diversity” Democrats have put more women of color to the bench under Biden than under any other president.
