Senate Confirms Jordan Pratt as Third Trump Nominee to Middle District of Florida Bench: 52-47 Party-Line Vote Clears Path Amid Shutdown
**The U.S. Senate just locked in President Trump’s *judicial blitz*—confirming *Jordan Emery Pratt* Tuesday as U.S. District Judge for the Middle District of Florida in a razor-thin 52-47 vote.
Pratt, 39, third of four Trump picks for the busy Tampa-Orlando-Jacksonville court handling fraud, immigration, IP cases—joins Kyle Dudek and Anne-Leigh Gaylord Moe (confirmed 53-46 Oct. 21). John Guard teed up next.
Nominated June 16, ex-First Liberty Institute litigator fought school prayer bans, COVID mandates—now Fifth District Court of Appeal judge via DeSantis. ABA “Well Qualified.” Senate Judiciary: Grassley hails “double-standard busters.”
Dems filibuster: Durbin grilled abortion waiver ruling—Pratt struck Florida’s parental consent as “unconstitutional.” Left blasts “anti-choice crusader.”
X explodes—@SenateCloakroom (25K views): “52-47 Pratt!” @EricLDaugh (38K views): “DeSantis alum crushes backlog!” @DanielMCody: 12th district win—GOP edges +3.4%.
Florida boom: Middle District (14 judges) buried in 40K+ filings/year—Trump trio slashes delays, turbocharges DeSantis DOJ vs. cartels, fraud. Economy? $1T+ cases—faster justice = business magnet.
Shutdown defiance: Day 29—GOP rams 12 district confirmations. McConnell 2.0: 234 lifetime seats pace. Dems howl; Trump: “Courts SECURED.”
One left: Guard. Pratt sworn soon—Sunshine State locked.
