Biden has installed the most non-White judges of any president
Biden has installed the most non-White judges of any president
Additionally, 6 in 10 Biden judges are women, data show.

In three and a half years, President Biden has already installed more non-White federal judges than any president in history. His slate of judges is also majority female — another first.
As Biden and former president Donald Trump barrel toward a fall rematch, The Washington Post is examining the numbers behind their time as president. In this case, we reviewed their approaches to nominating federal judges, who enjoy lifetime tenure once confirmed by the Senate.
Across the Supreme Court, Circuit and District courts, 65 percent of Trump’s appointments are White men. Just 13 percent of Biden’s Senate-confirmed appointments so far are White men, according to a Post analysis of self-reported race and ethnicity data from the Federal Judicial Center.
