Following Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsburg’s death on Sept. 18, some Democrats have pressed Biden to consider “packing the court” with liberal justices if Trump’s Republican party fills Ginsburg’s seat ahead of the election and creates a 6-3 conservative majority.On Thursday, Biden told reporters that revealing it now would distract voters from focusing on Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the top court.
Biden has said that because the election is only weeks away, the winner of the contest should be the one who picks Ginsburg’s successor. Democrats say that because Supreme Court justices hold their seats for life, a 6-3 conservative majority could threaten access to healthcare, abortion, and civil rights.
150 years of precedence, 40+ years of personal government service, it’s a simple answer. The Supreme Court will stay at 9. Refusing to say that means they are planning to pack the court.
That's the rudest thing I ever heard from a candidate.
Completely reasonable to not immediately condemn a policy position that would greatly erode the separation of powers within our government
not gonna matter then. enjoy retirement Joe.
This is stupid
IVoteDoU Just Say No, JoeBiden. NOW. 1. Expanding the SCOTUS falls into the RADICAL! category for some voters. Don't be radical. 2. 'I'll tell you after' is just embarrassing. 3. Changing the rules because the other side abuses the rules only gives the other side new rules to abuse.
Biden 100% but I don’t get dodging the court question. A non-partisan entity has turned partisan. Why not just say that and suggest we reform it in an equal manner? Dodging makes it into an issue. The GOP is at fault and the public knows. Why not take the higher ground?
Trump won’t even say he will accept the results of the election. Joe simply needs to not be dRumpf to win the election.
Trump won’t even tell us when his last negative test was. Joe doesn’t need to do anything other than not being DRumpf to win this election.
No shit.
This means that yes he would...but it’s all wishful thinking anyway...the only way Joe Biden will possibly walk proudly up the steps of The White House straight after This Election..would be if he decides to try a brand new career delivering pizza...
Might have just cost him some independent voters. Maybe all?
Sounds familiar...we have to pass it to see what's in it.
Welp. That’s troubling.
That’s super helpful. Thanks Joe.
Another profile in courage.
Be better to mandate a 65 year old retirement age.
Will anyone care after he loses?
Maduro did that too.
You have to pass the bill to find out what's in it amirite? VoteRedToSaveAmerica
Please don't forget BrendonDassey and StephenAvery
why make it bigger so u can put in your people !!! than next president can do the same when will it end just leave it alone
Unacceptable. People have a right to make informed decisions. Ludicrous
The old 'Trust Me' routine. One thing I've learned in 52 years on this rock, is never trust ANY politician.

perfect speech to fuel anger and civil wars ...~ LastStandTypeSituation
Then the answer is clearly, Yes, he will. Harris has stated she will as well. Biden is lying on so many issues or refusing to be transparent. Lots of legal stuff will continue about crimes committed. Biden is physically and mentally unfit. Handlers help, or hide much of it.
I say, answer the question! Then do whatever the hell you want like republicans do. Quit playing nice Dems.
Interesting how this proposal to jack the Supreme Court has only suddenly become needed when they aren't with a majority..
I’ll take that as a yes.
The Supreme Court must reflect the majority of the country’s views, certainly not their own and certainly not the minority’s views.
What?
you are running for the presidency you must say yes or no the public deserves to know
Does it even matter now? We already know.
What a joke...!
of course. why should President Elect Biden reveal anything when currently installed potus lies every time he speaks? Vote
Lol
lol
Smart!
Ok, JoeBiden, that’s just cheap. That question will be asked at EVERY opportunity until the election!
