Senate Confirms New Federal Judge in a Tight Vote

Today, the Senate confirmed Jordan Emery Pratt from Florida to be a United States District Judge for the Middle District of Florida. This decision came after a close vote, with the final count being 52 Senators in favor and 47 against.

The majority of support for Pratt came from Republican Senators, who backed his nomination. They believe he is a good choice for the position and will carry out his duties fairly.

Democratic Senators opposed the nomination, expressing concerns about Pratt’s views and qualifications. Despite their objections, Pratt secured enough votes to officially become a federal judge.

This confirmation adds Pratt to the list of judges who interpret federal laws and make important decisions in court cases in Florida.
