The U.S. Senate on Feb. 13 advanced two of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees, including one who refused to disavow racial quotas.

In another 50–44 vote, the Senate approved Cindy Chung’s nomination to the Philadelphia-based 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. That includes Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), and Susan Collins (R-Maine).
