Jabari Wamble withdrew his nomination on Tuesday. He follows Michael Delaney, who stepped out of contention for an appellate judgeship last week.
One of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees is pulling his name from consideration for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench, the second such politically painful withdrawal this month.
“After careful thought and consideration, I feel that it is best for me to continue my work at the United States’s Attorney’s Office in the District of Kansas. I have been humbled and honored by the faith you placed in me with this nomination,” Wamble wrote in the Tuesday letter. He is the son-in-law of Rep. Emanuel Cleaver .
Biden previously nominated Wamble for an appellate judgeship last year, but the Senate never confirmed him. He was nominated for the federal district court seat this year, but Kansas’s two GOP senators have not indicated whether they would waive their veto power over his nomination — a Senate tradition known as the blue slip.
