of senate republican leader On Monday, former Republican President Donald Trump denounced the decision by two federal judges to rescind their announced resignations after he was re-elected in November.
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said two “partisan Democratic district judges” were “retiring” after “the American people voted last month to remove a Democrat from office.” He criticized the government for announcing a plan not to do so.
“If you look at history, there have only been two judges who did not retire after a presidential election: one Democrat in 2004 and one Republican in 2009. But now, just a few weeks later, Democrats are already at an all-time high. It's hard to conclude that this is anything but overt partisanship,” McConnell said in remarks on the Senate floor. read
