Vice President Kamala Harris endorsed expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices to restore balance. The proposal signals Democratic intent to reshape the bench if they retain power.
Vice President Kamala Harris publicly endorsed expanding the Supreme Court from nine to 13 justices, framing it as a way to restore ideological balance on the bench. The proposal makes explicit what had been Democratic talking points: the intention to reshape the Court if they win future elections.
This takes a long-discussed proposal and puts it on the official platform. Court expansion isn't a hidden contingency anymore—it's public policy. The math is straightforward: six conservative justices, three liberal justices, add four more liberal justices, you get a 7-6 liberal majority. It's a direct arms race over judicial power. The proposal also signals that Democrats view the current Court as fundamentally compromised by how Trump's appointees were selected, making institutional reform preferable to acceptance of current rulings.
