Former Vice President Kamala Harris said she supports expanding the Supreme Court and abolishing the Electoral College while weighing a possible 2028 presidential run.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris used a speech at the National Urban League Conference in Nashville to back several progressive proposals she did not promote during her 2024 campaign. Harris said the United States should consider abolishing the Electoral College and expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices, likening the change to the existing number of district courts. She also called for renewed discussion on Puerto Rico’s statehood.
"We must allow for a real conversation about revisiting certain things," Harris said, adding that the Electoral College issue would be controversial coming from her.
"We need to revisit the point of expanding the court to 13 justices like we have 13 district courts," she added.
Harris, who lost the 2024 election to President Donald Trump, said she has not yet decided whether to run for president in 2028, emphasizing her focus on the upcoming midterm elections. Her remarks follow reports of recent contacts with progressive Democrats, including a meeting with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at a Black women’s empowerment summit.
