Trump Nominates Vance-Recommended Ohio Judge to Federal Bench
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he is nominating Ohio state appeals court judge Matthew Byrne, recommended by Vice President JD Vance, to serve as a federal district court judge in Ohio. Trump stated on Truth Social that Byrne was recommended by Ohio's two Republican senators and Vance.
Nomination Details
Byrne serves on the Ohio Twelfth District Court of Appeals. Trump typically unveils multiple nominees but announced only one this time. Byrne was elected to the state appeals court in 2020 after working as an employment litigator at Jackson Lewis.
Notable Ruling
In March, Byrne wrote for a panel that upheld a juvenile court's decision granting custody to a child services agency. A footnote in the ruling noted that parents should not be deemed unfit for being initially reluctant to accept their child's transgender identity, drawing attention in conservative circles.
