0:02.7 | Good Tuesday morning. I'm Adrienne Hurst and welcome to your Playbook Daily briefing. |
0:07.9 | Trump spent four years appointing more than 200 judges to the federal bench. And now it's Democrats |
0:14.0 | turn to shape the courts. As soon as today, Biden's expected to unveil his first wave of |
0:19.7 | judicial nominees. |
0:26.1 | Sources tell us to look out for 11 names, including three black women, at least two of whom will be nominated to the appeals courts. That's after Joe vowed on the campaign trail to nominate |
