U.S. Senator Josh Hawley spoke on the Senate floor, emphasizing the achievements of Missouri's four district court nominees. He expressed gratitude to President Donald Trump for appointing constitutionalists to the federal bench following what he described as radical judicial appointments under President Joe Biden.

"Each of these four individuals will soon take his or her place on the federal bench, and I am confident will be a great credit, not just to my state but to the United States, where I hope they will serve as federal judges for a very long time to come," Senator Hawley stated.

The Senate is expected to confirm the following nominees starting next week:

- Joshua M. Divine, nominated as United States District Judge for the Eastern and Western Districts of Missouri.

- Maria A. Lanahan, nominated as United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.

- Zachary M. Bluestone, nominated as United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.

- Cristian M. Stevens, nominated as United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
