Pence Asks Harris About Court-Packing Stance. She Refuses To Answer, Brings Up Race Of Circuit Judges

During the vice presidential debate on Wednesday evening, Vice President Mike Pence asked Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) point-blank if she and Democratic nominee Joe Biden would support packing the Supreme Court as retaliation should Senate Republicans confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett in the lead-up to the election.

“You’ve refused to answer the question, Joe Biden has refused to answer the question, so I think the American people would really like to know,” said Pence. “If Judge Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed to the Supreme Court of the United States, are you and Joe Biden, if somehow you win this election, going to pack the Supreme Court to get your way?”
