Former Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a> faced swift Republican backlash after calling on Democrats to consider expanding the Supreme Court and gutting the Electoral College the next time they are in power.<\/p>\n

“Let\u2019s invite ideas, for example, that are about Supreme Court reform, including the notion of expanding the court,” Harris said on a call with the left-wing nonprofit Emerge. “Let\u2019s invite a discussion about how do we push for statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.; how are we thinking about the Electoral College.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We’ve got to neutralize this red state cheating,” she continued. “There’s a brutality at play on the other side, and a ruthlessness. And we need to play to win.”<\/p>\n

Harris\u2019 plea for “bold” reforms came after Democrats suffered two major setbacks in the redistricting wars,<\/a> as both parties scramble to draw new congressional seats ahead of November’s midterm elections.<\/p>\n

HARRIS’ ‘NO BAD IDEA BRAINSTORM’ FOR DEMS INCLUDES PACKING SCOTUS, ELIMINATING ELECTORAL COLLEGE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In late April, the Supreme Court moved to curb<\/a> the use of race in the drawing of electoral districts, effectively gutting Black-majority districts held by Democrats across the South. Democrats were dealt another blow at the Virginia Supreme Court earlier in May when a Democratic-friendly gerrymander was struck down over a procedural concern.<\/p>\n

“What they have done with this decision, by saying that the politics of redistricting is okay, is they are back-dooring racism through politics,” Harris also said on the call. “What they are doing is intentionally about trying to suppress the voice of the people.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 2024 presidential candidate\u2019s ideas drew a sharp rebuke from House Speaker Mike Johnson,<\/a> R-La., who accused Democrats of being “institutional arsonists.”<\/p>\n

“It’s a dangerous thing, a dangerous gambit,” the speaker said. “You don’t just blow up the system when you lose.”<\/p>\n

“For the former vice president of the United States and a candidate for president to suggest that you should pack the Supreme Court<\/a> or destroy these institutions because they lost is I just think outrageous,” he added.<\/p>\n

Conservative Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., also criticized Harris\u2019 comments, calling them “totally insane” in an interview with Fox News.<\/p>\n

“That’s why we can’t let her become president,” he said. “People \u2026 rejected her before; they’ll reject her again.”<\/p>\n

Not all Democrats are in agreement with Harris.<\/p>\n

“I think that’s putting the cart before the horse,” Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., told Fox News. “Right now I’m focusing on lowering costs, health care, ending a runaway war that’s costing Americans tens of billions of dollars. Those are the things that my constituents are talking to me about.”<\/p>\n

Harris\u2019 calls for Democratic retaliation come as Republicans are emerging as the clear winners in the redistricting battle ahead of the midterms. The GOP could pick up more than a dozen seats after a bevy of GOP-led states have drawn new congressional maps while Democratic gains have so far been limited to California and Utah.<\/p>\n

Earlier in May, Tennessee carved up its lone Black-majority district, represented for decades by a white Democrat, allowing Republicans to pick up a seat that had long eluded them.<\/p>\n

Louisiana and South Carolina are conducting similar efforts to erase several Democratic-held seats following the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries,<\/a> D-N.Y., has vowed to respond with his own gerrymander push in a swath of blue and purple states, including New York, New Jersey, Colorado and Oregon. But those states are not likely to move forward with new maps until 2028, making it a moot point ahead of November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
