Kamala Harris proposes expanding the Supreme Court and abolishing the Electoral College as she eyes a 2028 presidential bid.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris signaled a potential 2028 presidential campaign by endorsing several progressive policy proposals during a speech at the National Urban League Conference. Harris advocated for expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices and revisiting the Electoral College, a system she did not publicly support during her 2028 campaign. She also expressed support for granting statehood to Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., while calling for the Senate Judiciary Committee to implement stricter rules to hold judicial nominees accountable for inaccuracies. To counter Republican strategies, Harris urged Democrats to be "ruthless" and focus on maximizing voter turnout to ensure the party remains "too big to rig." She noted that high turnout is the best defense against alleged Republican cheating in the upcoming midterm elections. While Harris has not yet officially decided to run for the presidency in 2028, she is currently considered a leading contender by Democratic insiders. Her recent outreach to progressive figures, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, suggests a strategy to mend fences with the far-left wing of the party.
