Chicago – August 03, 2026
Former Vice President Kamala Harris has voiced support for major reforms to the U.S. Supreme Court and the Electoral College as speculation grows over a potential 2028 presidential campaign. Harris said the nation should consider structural changes to strengthen public confidence in democratic institutions and ensure they better reflect modern governance.
Among the proposals she endorsed are expanding the number of Supreme Court justices and reexamining the Electoral College system, which determines the outcome of presidential elections. Harris argued that these institutions should be open to reform as the country addresses evolving political and legal challenges.
Supporters say the proposed changes could improve representation and accountability, while critics contend they would significantly alter long-established constitutional structures and could further deepen political divisions.
Although Harris has not announced whether she will seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, her recent comments have intensified speculation about her future political ambitions. Any major institutional reforms would require congressional action, and some proposals could also require constitutional amendments.
