Overview
In a surprising turn following President-elect Donald Trump's re-election, Judge James Wynn of the Fourth Circuit and several district court judges withdrew retirement decisions. This movement mirrors a trend among Democratic appointees aiming to block Trump's judicial nominations.

His reversal follows a failed Senate confirmation for his successor and is viewed as unprecedented, leading to potential ethical scrutiny and calls for recusals from litigants.
