It's worth noting that President Biden nominated 10 more federal district court judges on Thursday. That's on top of the 3 circuit court judges and 5 district court judges he nominated on September 20th. Three circuit court nominees and 10 district court nominees have been approved by the Judiciary Committee and are awaiting floor votes.

So far, President Biden has 5 circuit court judges and 9 district court judges in active service. With these new nominations, 5 circuit court nominees and 19 district court nominees await their committee hearings/votes.

Overall, Biden has nominated 13 circuit judges and 38 district court judges.

Harris has now cast eleven tie-breaking votes. Two more and she ties her predecessor for the most by any VP since Reconstruction.

The last time the VP cast the deciding vote for final passage on a law was Cheney on the 2003 round of the Bush tax cuts. It'll be interesting to see if Harris ends up doing so on whatever version of Build Back Better Manchin and Synema finally deign to accept.
