Supreme Court nominees appointed by Biden
Ketanji Brown Jackson
- See also: Supreme Court vacancy, 2022
Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in to serve on the United States Supreme Court on June 30, 2022, the same day Stephen Breyer retired from the court.[7][8]
Breyer officially announced his retirement on January 27.[9][10] President Joe Biden (D) said he would nominate Jackson to fill Breyer's vacancy on February 25.[11] Jackson was confirmed by the Senate in a 53-47 vote on April 7, 2022.[12]
Writing for SCOTUSblog, Amy Howe wrote: "Although Breyer is apparently in good health and by all accounts enjoys his job, Democrats began calling for him to retire shortly after the 2020 election so that President Joe Biden could nominate a younger judge to take his place."[13] Breyer said on June 29 that his retirement would take effect the following day.[7]
Jackson was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by Biden in 2021 and the Senate confirmed her the same year. She served on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia from 2013 to 2021, and as a vice-chair and commissioner on the United States Sentencing Commission from 2010 to 2014.[14] Jackson has previously clerked for Breyer during his tenure on the Supreme Court, worked as a lawyer in private practice, and as an assistant federal public defender.[15]
Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution gives the President of the United States the authority to nominate Supreme Court justices, and they are appointed with the advice and consent of the Senate.
The average vacancy length on the Supreme Court since 1962—when defined as the length of time elapsed between a Justice’s departure date and the swearing-in of their successor—is 86 days. Four of these vacancies lasted for only a few hours each, with the successor being sworn in the same day the retiring Justice officially left office. The longest vacancy under this definition was 422 days, following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.
Appointments by court type
The following chart from the monthly federal vacancy count report for January 1, 2025, details the number of appointments made by President Biden to each type of Article III federal court since taking office. This chart is updated at the start of each month with new appointments data.

Vacancies by month
The following chart shows the total number of judicial vacancies at the start of each month under the Biden administration beginning in January 2021. This number comes from vacancies in the U.S. Court of Appeals, U.S. District Courts, U.S. Court of International Trade, U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and the U.S. Supreme Court.[16] This chart is updated at the start of each month with new vacancy data.
Nominations and confirmations by month

These numbers come from nominations and confirmations in the U.S. Court of Appeals, U.S. District Courts, U.S. Court of International Trade, and the U.S. Supreme Court. The ongoing nominations figures are calculated using the number of nominees awaiting action in the U.S. Senate.
Current judicial vacancies
- See also: Current federal judicial vacancies
According to U.S. Courts, there are 37 current Article III vacancies in the federal judiciary of 870 total Article III judgeships. Including non-Article III judges from the United States Court of Federal Claims and the United States territorial courts, there are 37 vacancies out of 890 active federal judicial positions.[17]
Article III judges serve on courts authorized by Article III of the Constitution, which created and enumerated the powers of the judiciary. They are appointed for life terms. A vacancy occurs when a judge resigns, retires, takes senior status, or passes away. In the event of a scheduled upcoming vacancy, the president may submit a nomination to the U.S. Senate prior to the vacancy taking effect.
There are five key steps in the vacancy process: a presidential nomination, a U.S. Senate committee hearing, a vote by a U.S. Senate committee to report the nominee to the full Senate, a confirmation vote by the U.S. Senate, and a confirmed nominee taking their judicial oath and receiving their judicial commission.

The map below details the percentage of vacant seats in each federal district court. This map is updated on the second business day of each month. Ballotpedia considers a vacancy to be filled once the confirmed nominee has received commission.
