This statement implies that, despite Democrats confirming a number of judges during a lame-duck session, experts predict that former U.S. President Donald Trump will have the opportunity to appoint several judges. A lame-duck session refers to the period of time after an election but before the newly elected officials take office. During this time, the outgoing lawmakers can still pass legislation or make appointments. Note, however, that Trump is not currently in office, so he would need to be re-elected or appointed to a government position with the authority to appoint judges for this prediction to come true.
