President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday urged Republican senators to “hold the line” and not confirm anymore judges before he takes office in January. His forceful request came just minutes after Manhattan prosecutors asked a judge to delay criminal sentencing in his hush money case until after he leaves office in 2029.
“The Democrats are trying to stack the Courts with Radical Left Judges on their way out the door,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Republican Senators need to Show Up and Hold the Line — No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!”
Trump’s post followed Manhattan prosecutors, led by District Attorney Alvin Bragg, requesting to postpone his sentencing on 34 charges of falsifying business records related to payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
