Please, I wish some of the people who will running in the primaries would take a serious look at their odds and reconsider what they're doing. Wouldn't they be more likely to win a campaign for the Senate? Their presence there is vital. If things don't change, we'll see more of this.

This will not go away all by itself. Every public office at every level is worth fighting for.

Remarks by President Trump on Federal Judicial Confirmation Milestones
LAW & JUSTICE

Issued on: November 6, 2019

East Room

3:28 P.M. EST

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Thank you very much. We have another big record stock market day and another record in the stock market in the history of our country, which, to me, means jobs and a lot of other things. We’re doing really well, and I just wanted to let you know. I think it’s the 119th day that we’ve set a record. So that’s good stuff. (Applause.)

So, good afternoon and thank you all for being here as we celebrate a profoundly historic milestone and a truly momentous achievement. Thanks to many of the people here today, my administration and Republicans in Congress have now confirmed more than 150 federal judges. And, to be honest with you, it’s substantially higher right now than that, Mitch. It’s about 159. And we should have, within the next short period of time — like two months — we should have about 182 federal judges. How’s that? Good? Good? (Applause.)
