Sen. Kamala Harris says that if Democrats win control of Congress, she supports major reforms to U.S. institutions, including expanding the Supreme Court and changing the Electoral College. Speaking in an interview, she argues that the popular vote should matter more in presidential elections, and she links these changes to broader efforts to adjust the country’s political structure.
Harris also calls for statehood for Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. One outlet highlights that legal analysts warn such proposals could establish a precedent that others may use in future political disputes. Other coverage emphasizes the political thrust of her remarks—tying court and election reforms to the possibility of renewed Democratic legislative power.
Taken together, the reports describe a set of proposals aimed at shifting how national power is allocated—both in the courts and in presidential election rules—while underscoring that outside experts raise concerns about the long-term implications for institutional stability.
