The chamber has confirmed 105 of Pres. Biden's nominees, exceeding the pace set by predecessors George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
, Ketanji Brown Jackson, as well as 23 people of color to U.S. circuit -- or appellate -- courts, including 17 women of color, Democrats said earlier this week.
Judge Gina Méndez-Miró became the 100th confirmation, on Tuesday, and joined the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico. Democrats said Méndez-Miró is the first openly LGBTQ judge on the court, and her confirmation flips the makeup of active judges on the court to a majority of Democratic appointees.
"Comparisons can be tricky since the factors that affect the confirmation pace can vary greatly from period to period," said Thomas Jipping, a senior legal fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation's Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies. He said that, so far and "since 1981, presidents appoint an average of just under four judges per month and Biden is just over that average."
Biden echoed that when announcing he was nominating Jackson as a justice: "For too long, our government, our courts haven't looked like America."
