Former Vice President Kamala Harris made no apologies for wanting to tear apart the U.S. from its foundation during an interview on Tuesday.

Harris called for packing the Supreme Court, demolishing the Electoral College, and pushing for the statehood of Puerto Rico and D.C. during a “Baby, This is Keke Palmer” podcast.

“The work that we can do about winning back the House and the Senate is going to be on a number of things. For example, I believe that we need to expand the Supreme Court. We need more justices on the Supreme Court so that we can have a court that actually reinforces the spirit and principles behind the Constitution of the United States,” she said.

“I believe that we should be pushing for what is possible around changing the Electoral College. Right?”

Harris is believed to be weighing a second run for the White House after losing both the Electoral College and popular vote to President Donald Trump. But she’s not wrong in predicting that eliminating the Electoral College, which helps equalize the say of constituents in less populated, rural areas and smaller states, would greatly help her and her Democrat cohorts.

“It’s about, the popular vote has to matter, right? You know, all the things that make people feel, like, overwhelmed, and does their vote matter? We have, you know, listen, if the folks there want it, we should be pushing for statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C., right? These are some of the things that are structural that we need to do, but we need to reestablish affordable child care,” she added.

Kamala Harris is pushing for Democrats to expand the Supreme Court, abolish the Electoral College and make DC and Puerto Rico states.

Y. David Scharf, chairman of Morrison Cohen LLP and head of its government strategies & controversies practice, said Harris’ suggestions would set a “dangerous precedent” in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“Kamala Harris says she wants to defend democracy, but her solution is to rewrite its rules when Democrats don’t like the results. That’s a dangerous precedent,” he said. “Nine justices have been the number since 1869. FDR tried to pack the Supreme Court, and even his own party pushed back. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself warned that expanding the court would make it look partisan.”

“The Electoral College is written into the Constitution. Eliminating it requires a constitutional amendment, not a Democratic majority in Congress. You don’t get to change the referee because you don’t like the calls. Harris may think this is a winning message for the Democratic base, but it’s a much tougher sell to the independent and swing voters her party needs,” Scharf added.

Harris went on to talk about the midterm elections.

“On the first Tuesday in November, the midterms are going to happen,” she said, according to Fox News Digital. “And our ability to put people in Congress who will say no when they do things like cut $1 trillion out of Medicaid will be powerful and affect people right away.

“Our ability to put people in Congress who will say enough of the corruption, enough of ending the funding for research on issues like fibroids, which they have done under the guise of attacking DEI, can be stopped,” Harris added. “There are things that are not only about what will be helpful, but also stopping what is harmful, that we can do right away with these midterm elections.”
