Donald Trump in The Long Game, by Mitch McConnell

On Government Reform: Proud to work with McConnell to appoint conservative judges

Mitch and I worked closely on confirming not only Supreme Court Justices but also lower court nominees. With Mitch and the Republican Senator's support, I was proud to appoint 30 judges to the federal appellate courts to my first term-more than any other president in a comparable period since the federal circuit courts were established, more than 125 years ago. As of mid 2019, I had already named almost one out of every four circuit court judges. A historic judgement in just two and a half years.

The effort to transform the courts is one that will benefit the American people far into the future. It is a legacy I am immensely proud and one for which Mitch McConnell deserves great credit. Confirming judges has been a key part of making the past two and a half years one of the most productive and conservative periods in our nation's history.
