How many more vacancies will be filled this year?
When Trump took office there were 112 vacancies. Now there are 145 with 32 more announced. There are about 90 nominees in some stage of the confirmation process. There has clearly been a state-oriented nomination process with the easier states worked first.
I expect most of the 177 spots to get nominees within the next two months and something well north of 125 but south of 177 to get confirmed.
What is your guess?
