The activity reflects the many allies jockeying for influence as Trump prepares to take office w/a #Republican-led #Senate & possibly a #GOP-controlled #House. Trump & his lts are focused on screening out people who may be #disloyal.
A 2nd-term #Trump might have the edge over a 1st-term #Harris because a #Republican-controlled #Senate could block some of her appointees. Perhaps moderate Harris nominees would get through, though: Most of #Biden’s appointees received bipartisan support. Another potential area of agreement is a bipartisan measure to incrementally increase the total number of federal district #judges to ease rising caseloads. The bill passed the Senate in Aug but has yet to receive a #House vote.

If they retired during a 2nd Trump admin, he could choose young replacements to cement #conservative control of the court for decades.
