The slew of digital ads by Article III Project, which were shared first with Fox News Digital on Tuesday, will highlight the voting records of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, Senate Judiciary Committee chair Dick Durbin of Illinois, and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, one of the most vocal Democratic members of the Judiciary Committee. The group spotlighted their analysis, which indicates the three senators voted against the vast majority of former President Donald Trump’s female and minority federal appeals court nominees.
According to Article III, Schumer voted against 95% of Trump’s female and minority federal appeals court nominees, with Durbin voting against 81% and Whitehouse 71% of those nominees. The figures are showcased in the group’s new display ads, which Article III tells Fox News Digital it’s spending a modest five figures to run digitally.

“Democrats talk a big game about diversity in the judiciary, so much so that they have made race and gender a prerequisite for President Biden’s first Supreme Court nomination. Dozens of Democratic senators, including Senators Schumer, Durbin, and Whitehouse, consistently voted against women and minority nominees from Presidents Trump and Bush. Democrats don’t care about diversity; they only care about power. Understanding their hypocrisy ahead of this Supreme Court fight is crucial to the public debate,” charged Article III Project founder and President Mike Davis.
