Trump has made judicial appointments a key goal of his first term, so it stands to reason he’d do the same now. Avoiding that is progress, even if Harris gets zero.
Edit: to avoid playing nickel and dime debate club:
The democratic party is wildly imperfect and often ineffectual. I’m not satisfied, and I’m not cheerleading for them.
Harris may also be wildly imperfect and often ineffectual. That’s still better than the massive equality, stability and integrity sink trump represents and that’s what I’m arguing for.
One Party Rule is the goal of both parties, and equally unattainable for similar reasons.
They do not, as evidenced by the failure to advance DC Statehood when they had a majority.
Republicans will control the Senate at the end of this election. Harris will not shift the balance of power under these conditions.
Do you think this is the first term Dems and GOPers have been struggling for power?
I do not. Why would I?

McConnell made it a key goal. That’s why he blocked Garland for 10 months under Obama.
Schumer has not. That’s why he let a SCOTUS nomination fall into Trump’s hands a mere 10 weeks before Biden took office.
Please note I had a late edit that should head off this back and forth on specifics.
