I surmised that Trump will have appointed a little over 22% after all these judges (including the 5 new ones are voted into office).   That is a pretty large majority if you ask me! Edited to add:  Let's not forget that AG Barr just appointed a new attorney in DC, too.    How many Federal Judges are there? There are currently 865 federal judges in the U.S. plus nine U.S. Supreme Court justices. While most judges are elected at the local level, all federal judges are appointed. All federal judges follow the same appointment process.
