President Donald Trump had a Republican judge confirmed by the Senate to the notoriously left-leaning Ninth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals on Tuesday—without missing a single Democrat vote.
Mark Bennett was confirmed by a 72-27 vote, yet it was Trump’s only Appeals Court nomination where every single nay came from a Republican.
