News take: Biden nomination of Muslim-American to be on appeals court in peril

Two Democratic senators say they will not support Adeel Mangi.

From NBC:

Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., have said they will oppose Mangi's nomination to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. With Democrats holding only a 51-to-49 majority, Mangi’s lack of Republican support means he doesn’t have the simple majority needed to be confirmed. Mangi would be the first Muslim American to serve as a judge on an appeals court, which has the last word on most federal legal disputes.
