Not counting the territories (e.g., Puerto Rico, Guam, etc), there are 90 district courts. There currently are more than 50 of those courts that do not have a single Trump appointed judge, while only around a dozen don't have an Obama appointed judge. Overall, there are around 260 active district court judges appointed by Obama and around 60 appointed by Trump. When you add the active judges appointed by earlier presidents, there are around 230 Republican appointed judges and 320 district court judges appointed by Democrats.
