<p>President-elect Donald Trump is pushing his fellow Republicans in the Senate to stop Democrats from confirming any more of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees.</p>



<p>“The Democrats are trying to stack the Courts with Radical Left Judges on their way out the door,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Tuesday.</p>



<p>“Republican Senators need to Show Up and Hold the Line — No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!” he wrote.</p>



<p>Democrats will lose their narrow Senate majority on Jan. 3. Trump is set to take office on Jan. 20.</p>



<p>The Senate has confirmed 216 of Biden’s nominees to the federal judiciary. The most recent addition, Judge Embry Kidd, was confirmed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit on Monday.</p>



<p>Biden has put forward 261 total judicial nominees, the White House said in a Nov. 8 press release announcing his 56th round of hopefuls.</p>



<p>There are currently 45 total vacancies in the federal judiciary. That is less than half as many openings as when Trump took office in 2017.</p>



<p>Trump appointed 227 judges during his first term. Biden is on pace to surpass that number, with about two dozen nominees currently awaiting final confirmation or pending before the Senate Judiciary Committee.</p>



<p>With the clock running out, Democrats are working overtime to seat Biden’s judges.</p>



<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the Senate floor Tuesday morning that he has taken steps toward confirming 12 more judges since the end of last week.</p>



<p>“We’re not done. There are more judges to consider and confirm. We’re going to spend the rest of this week and the rest of this year focused on confirming them,” Schumer said.</p>



<p>The good news is that the GOP may be able to slow Democrats’ left-wing agenda to a crawl. They managed to create hours of delays on Monday night by forcing lengthy roll-call votes on minor procedural motions that normally take a fraction of the time.</p>



<p>Incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told ABC News he would continue to bog down the nomination process.</p>



<p>“If Sen. Schumer thought Senate Republicans would just roll over and allow him to quickly confirm multiple Biden-appointed judges to lifetime jobs in the final weeks of the Democrat majority, he thought wrong,” Thune told ABC.</p>
