                          Judicial Nominations

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, first, today the Senate will continue 
doing what we have been doing all week, working to confirm as many of 
President Biden's well-qualified judicial nominees as possible.
  Yesterday, we confirmed two more district court judges for the 
Northern District of New York--Anthony Brindisi, a proud son of Utica 
whom I worked with closely when he was a member of Congress, and Beth 
Coombe, a trailblazing prosecutor.
  Later this morning, we will vote to confirm Sarah Davenport to be 
district court judge for the District of New Mexico. Following that, we 
will vote to advance the nominations of two more judges: Tiffany 
Johnson to be the district court judge for the Northern District of 
Georgia and Keli Neary to be district court judge for the Middle 
District of Pennsylvania.
  So of the five judges I filed cloture on Monday, we will have 
confirmed three by the end of today, and we will be very close to 
confirming the remaining two. While Democrats still hold the majority, 
we are going to do everything we can to confirm as many judges as we 
can.
