Harris declines to say if Biden would pack the Supreme Court

Sen. Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, declined to say in the debate Wednesday night with Vice President Mike Pence whether a Biden administration would seek to pack the Supreme Court.  

Pence pressed Harris on the issue of expanding the number of justices on the Supreme Court during the vice presidential debate but she didn't answer.  

"I want the record to reflect she never answered the question," Pence said during the debate on Wednesday evening.  

During the first presidential debate, Biden declined to take a position on court packing when moderater Chris Wallace asked about the issue.

Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who recently died. If she's confirmed, some Democrats have suggested that a Democrats could legislatively add justices to dilute the 6-3 conservative advantage on the high court if the party keeps control of the House and wins the Senate and White House in the November election.
