WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden announced on Thursday another diverse group of candidates for his second round of judicial nominations, a day after some in his first slate of picks went before a Senate committee.

President Biden on Thursday announced another diverse group of candidates for his second batch of judicial nominations, a day after some in his first slate appeared before a Senate committee.
The new batch consists of three nominees: a woman who would be the first Asian American appointed as a federal judge to the Western District of Washington; a Latino who is currently the presiding judge of the Grant County Superior Court in Ephrata, Wash.; and a woman who is a longtime labor and employment litigation attorney in New Jersey.
