Biden is going to veto a bipartisan bill that will expand the number of federal judges by 63 in an effort to make federal court systems less congested.
He is doing this because he wants to pack the courts with partisans, but Americans decided they dislike democrats and elected trump instead of Harris.

Biden threatens to veto bill that would have given Trump new judicial appointments
The president threatened to veto a bill to expand the number of federal judges because he doesn’t want to give the president-elect new appointment opportunities, one of the outgoing president’s closest allies said in an interview.
The move dooms legislation spearheaded by Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who had spent months pushing for the creation of 63 new judgeships.
“I understand that the president’s view is that to pass it this late in the session and hand the next president 22 judges to confirm is something he doesn’t support,” Coons told POLITICO.
Coons called the decision a “regrettable outcome,” blaming partisan politics for bogging down a once-bipartisan effort.
He added that Biden told him his only objection to the bill was its timing.
“If we could change the date by four years, I know — he told me — if we could change the date, he’d sign it tomorrow,” Coons said of their conversation.
