As of this writing, 84 Biden-nominated judges have been confirmed by the Senate. With Democrats likely to keep the Senate until at least 2025, what is the total number of Biden-nominated judges that you expect to be confirmed by January 3, 2025?

Trump got 234 with 4 years of continuous senate control and Biden is significantly outpacing him so far.  However, Trump did get to fill a bunch held over from the last 2 years of Obama's presidency, which Biden didn't get to do.  I'll guess 250 or 260.

Without the House, there's no reason why Biden and Schumer shouldn't be doing exactly what Trump and McConnell did, except faster.

This. A better question would be how many of these confirmations will go through before Harris gets the opportunity to break John C. Calhoun's record for tie-breaking votes.

She only needs 6 more to break it.  Assuming a 51D/49R senate, surely Manchin would like to have some votes against Dem judges to talk about in 2024, right?

Depends whether Manchin and Sinema are running for reelection, and what their calculations are in terms of winning reelection. (For Manchin, he basically has to become a partisan Republican to have a chance, while Sinema really doesn't have a chance that I can see.)

Sinema is way too socially liberal to worry about her blocking Dem federal court nominees.  Even if she caucused as a Republican, she would be as easy a vote to get as Murkowski.
