The 11th Circuit is considered to be one of the most conservative federal appellate courts in the country, in large part because former President Donald Trump was able to appoint six of its 12 current judges.
Biden’s first appointment to the court was Judge Nancy G. Abudu. Her confirmation by the Senate came in May 2023.
Abudu and Wilson are the 11th Circuit’s only Black judges. Kidd is also Black.
Wilson, whose primary chambers are in Florida, will join nine other senior judges of the court. Senior judges can choose to handle a reduced caseload.
