Biden is moving at a rapid pace to get federal judges confirmed, but can he match Trump's speed?

According to a report, President Biden won Thursday's Senate confirmation to be a seventh nominee for the federal judgeship. This puts him at a faster pace that any president in over a half-century.

It remains to be seen if Biden will surpass former President Trump in his term.

Trump appointed more judges than any other president in his four years of office, surpassing three previous presidents who served two terms: Obama Clinton, George W. Bush, and Clinton.

The Huffington Post reported that Candace Jackson-Akiwumi, Biden's nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals 7th Circuit gave him a total of two appeals court nominations and five district court nominations since he took office five months ago.

This report stated that Biden was ahead of all other presidents when it came to appointing Article III judges, those who are appointed for life on the nation's most important courts.

According to the report, President Richard Nixon was the last president to receive seven nominations for Article III judgeships. He did so in his first five month of office.

Other presidents have had lower numbers: Trump only had two Article III judges confirmed (though one was Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch), whereas President Obama, President George W. Bush, and President Clinton had all received zero confirmation, according to the report.

President George H.W. Bush had confirmed four, President Reagan had zero, and President Jimmy Carter had four.

This comparison does not apply to Ford, who was elected in 1974 after Nixon resigned. He inherited Nixon's nominations.
