Reuters: Democrats’ Senate wins cripple Trump’s push to reshape the courts
This excerpt is from a piece that originally ran on November 4, 2026.
Noting that Trump’s second-term judicial picks have routinely sought to avoid stating who won at the ballot box during the 2020 presidential election that Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden, the progressive advocacy group Alliance for Justice on Wednesday urged Democrats once in control to prevent Trump from appointing any more such judges to the lower courts.
“So long as every nominee continues to swear loyalty to Trump by denying the 2020 election and January 6, however, it’s easy to maintain a presumption that Trump judges must be rejected,” Rachel Rossi, AFJ’s president, said in a statement.
