There were 6 judicial nominations on Aug 14th as well, one of them to the second circuit.

None of these 20 nominations are reflected in the totals at https://www.uscourts.gov/judges-judgeships/judicial-vacancies/current-judicial-vacancies

With Mitch McConnell saying it was full speed ahead with Judicial confirmations and that there would be many more confirmations this year perhaps all of these nominees will be finalized in 2020.

Hopefully Trump will get to nominate another Supreme Court Justice this year.

As I posted on Twit this week, courtesy of Zen Master, we are almost out of vacancies for Trump to fill. Maybe about five more.

Judicial nominations still needed from 22 states.
All current vacancies to the courts of appeals now have nominees.
