Trump’s most lasting impact on the country will be the reshaping of the federal judiciary. Thus far, Trump has installed three Supreme Court justices and 220 judges overall to the federal bench — all for lifetime appointments. Amy Coney Barrett became Trump’s third Supreme Court justice on October 26, 2020, barely a week before Election Day. By December, Trump nominees made up roughly 25% of all US circuit court judges, according to an analysis by The Washington Post. He’s appointed 53 judges on the 13 US circuit courts. To put this into perspective, former President Barack Obama appointed 55 circuit judges in his two terms in the White House. The courts get the final say in US politics, setting precedents that can shape the country for years to come.
