President Trump spoke to reporters on October 13, 2026, as he prepared to board Marine One at the White House. During his current term, the Trump administration has filed 42 emergency pleas to the Supreme Court. This number exceeds the total from his previous term.
Recently, the Justice Department appealed to the Supreme Court against a ruling favoring Democrats over TV advertising rates ahead of the midterm elections. The court has yet to decide on this case and another concerning transgender inmates. Out of the total 42 pleas, four were withdrawn, leaving 36 cases with decisions.
According to analysis by The Gavel, President Trump has achieved victories in 28 of these emergency cases and faced defeats in eight. This reflects a success rate of nearly 80 percent.
