Senator Bill Hagerty, a Republican from Tennessee, has recently shared several updates on legislative and judicial developments via his official social media account. His posts focus on the progress of the GENIUS Act in Congress and the confirmation of a new federal judge.
On July 14, 2025, Senator Hagerty announced that the House of Representatives would vote on his GENIUS Act during the week. He stated, “With this bill, we are one step closer to becoming the global leader in crypto. Let’s get this to @POTUS’s desk ASAP.”
Later that day, Hagerty outlined key objectives of the legislation. According to his post dated July 14, 2025, “The GENIUS Act:
Brings America’s payment system into the 21st century
Cements U.S. dollar dominance
Increases demand for U.S. treasuries”.
In a separate update on July 14, 2025, Hagerty highlighted a milestone in judicial appointments. He wrote, “Tennessee native — Judge Whitney Hermandorfer — is the first judicial nominee confirmed by the Senate in @POTUS’s second term. She will set a benchmark of excellence for future judicial nominees — President Trump could not have made a better choice. Congratulations, Judge”.
Judge Whitney Hermandorfer’s confirmation marks a significant event as she becomes the first judicial nominee approved by the Senate during President Trump’s second term.
