US EditionSenate Confirms Trump's First Judicial Nominee of His Second Term
UNITED STATES SENATE, JUL 14 – Whitney Hermandorfer was confirmed by a 46-42 Senate vote in a party-line decision, marking President Trump's first judicial appointment of his second term amid criticism of her limited experience.
- The Senate approved Whitney Hermandorfer's nomination to serve on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in a closely divided 46-42 party-line vote.
- Whitney Hermandorfer became the first judge confirmed during President Trump’s second term, which has seen fewer available judicial openings compared to his initial term.
- Hermandorfer led major legal cases for Tennessee’s attorney general, supported several Trump administration policies such as the effort to end birthright citizenship, and previously clerked for three justices on the U.S. Supreme Court.
- Democratic critics cited her limited court experience as a “striking brevity” and described her views and record as extreme, especially regarding abortion rights.
- Hermandorfer's confirmation reflects ongoing efforts to shape the judiciary despite controversy and a shrinking pool of vacancies compared to prior terms.
