President Biden has appointed more than 62 Black judges, including 40 Black women, who are now serving lifetime appointments on the federal bench.
Today, the U.S. Senate confirmed Tiffany Rene Johnson to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, making her the 40th Black woman confirmed (article available here).
She has been an Assistant United States Attorney in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia since 2017. She served in the office's Civil Division until 2020, when she transferred to its Criminal Division.
President Biden has appointed more Black lifetime judges than any previous president in a single term, and he has tied the record for most Black lifetime judges confirmed during a presidency of any length. This includes the first Black woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court — Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
