They're also an *incredibly* diverse group of new judges.

Racially of course, but also professionally — Biden has kept his promise to put public defenders on the bench, a historically underrepresented legal discipline in the federal courts.
Also, a majority of all federal district judges are now Democratic appointees.
Biden and Schumer = not messing around.
