The 2024 presidential election is behind us. Now, the second Trump administration looks poised to pick up where the first left off in its effort to reshape the federal judiciary in the conservative legal movement’s image.

In less than four years, President Biden has gone from a skeptic to proponent of significant reforms to the Supreme Court.
