The Democratic nominee and Harris had been dodging questions about expanding the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON — After coming under fire from President Donald Trump and Republicans about whether he backed expanding the Supreme Court to more than nine justices, Joe Biden said Monday that he's"not a fan of court packing."
The former vice president said Trump's decision to quickly fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ahead of the election is the"court packing" that he wants people to pay attention to. Biden's comments Monday were his clearest on the issue since Ginsburg's death and come as he and his vice presidential nominee, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., have been hit with a barrage of GOP attacks and deflected numerous questions from the press in recent weeks about whether they would expand the Supreme Court.
