U.S. President Joe Biden has nominated another round of federal judges for trial courts in New York, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Michigan, the White House said on Wednesday.
The picks are all for courts in states with two Democratic senators, easing their path for confirmation. Three of them previously served in U.S. attorney's offices, and two are U.S. magistrate judges.
Biden also tapped U.S. Magistrate Judge Jennifer Hall of Delaware for a lifetime appointment on the state's U.S. district court. Hall earlier led the civil division for the U.S. attorney's office in Delaware. Under a U.S. Senate tradition known as the "blue slip", senators can block judicial nominees for federal trial courts in their states. Because Wednesday's nominees are all for states with two Democratic senators, such opposition is unlikely. All federal judgeships require Senate confirmation.
The White House also announced that April Perry, senior counsel at GE Healthcare and a former federal prosecutor, was nominated to be the Chicago-based U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.
