Trump Withdraws Judicial Nominee Amid Republican Senators' Opposition Over Appointments
President Trump withdrew Judge Lee Rudofsky's nomination to the 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals after opposition from Arkansas Republican senators John Boozman and Tom Cotton. The White House replaced Rudofsky with Arkansas Supreme Court Justice J. Cody Hiland amid efforts to confirm judges before Democrats gain Senate control. Several Republican senators, including those from Texas and Oklahoma, have delayed or blocked Trump's judicial nominees, seeking greater influence over appointments in their home states, complicating the administration's judicial selection process.
