Generally, it is federal magistrate judges--not district judges--who sign off on warrants. And they are not appointed by the President. They are appointed to 8-year terms by the district court judges.
So the judge will probably be a registered Republican or Democrat. But they won't be a "Trump Judge" or an "Obama Judge."
