President Trump addressed reporters before boarding Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington on October 13, 2026. Since retaking office, his administration has submitted 42 emergency pleas to the Supreme Court. This number exceeds the total from his initial term in the White House.
Recently, the Justice Department sought intervention from the justices to halt a decision that favored Democrats. The case in question involves television advertising rates for the upcoming midterm elections. Additionally, there is another case regarding the rights of transgender inmates that is still awaiting judgment. While four of the cases have been retracted, 36 cases have been decided.
Trump has achieved victories in 28 of these emergency cases, losing only eight. This results in a success rate close to 80 percent, based on analysis by The Gavel.
