The Senate confirmed President Trump's first federal judge of his second term, to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The upper chamber on Monday voted 46-42 along party lines to confirm Whitney Hermandorfer, 38, to replace an Obama appointee, Politico reported.

Hermandorfer received her undergraduate degree from Princeton University and graduated from George Washington University Law School in 2015. She clerked for Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Amy Coney Barrett, and then-D.C. Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

Hermandorfer was also the director of the Strategic Litigation Unit of the Tennessee attorney general’s office and defended the state’s near-total abortion ban and prohibition on transgender procedures for minors.

Trump called Hermandorfer “a staunch defender of Girls’ and Women’s Sports” in his announcement of her nomination.

Democrats argued that she lacked the professional experience to hold a lifetime appointment on the appeals court and criticized her role in fighting conservative culture wars.
