President Biden vetoed a bipartisan bill to add 66 federal judges, citing political motives.

President Joe Biden has vetoed a bipartisan bill that aimed to add 66 new federal district judgeships, citing concerns over the "hurried" process and unanswered questions about the allocation of new positions. The bill, which had passed the Senate unanimously, would have spread new appointments over more than a decade to avoid political advantage. However, Biden argued that the Republican-led House's delay in voting until after the election suggested political motives rather than a need to address judicial backlogs.
