由于选举临近和存在问题的关系，参议院多数党领袖查克·舒默和拜登总统可能会允许有争议的司法候选人任期届满。 Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and President Biden may allow a controversial judicial nominee's expiration due to election proximity and problematic ties.
专家猜测，参议院多数党领袖查克·舒默和拜登总统可能会允许有争议的司法提名人的任期在第 118 届国会结束时到期，因为由于选举临近，该提名人已经失去了获得全院投票的希望。 Experts speculate that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and President Biden may allow a controversial judicial nominee's expiration at the end of the 118th Congress, as the nominee has lost hope of a floor vote due to the election's proximity. 该提名人的关系被认为“有问题”。 The nominee's ties are considered "problematic." 前参议院发言人罗恩·博让 (Ron Bonjean) 暗示，提名人可能会“任由风吹草动”，希望他能主动退出。 Former Senate spokesman Ron Bonjean suggests the nominee may be "let twist in the wind" in hopes of a self-withdrawal.
