Biden says he's 'not a fan' of court-packing and that he doesn't want to make the election about the issue

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Monday that he's "not a fan" of court-packing, providing his clearest position on an issue he has sought to avoid discussing following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

"I'm not a fan of court-packing, but I don't want to get off on that whole issue," Biden told CNN affiliate WKRC in Cincinatti. "I want to keep focused. The President would love nothing better than to fight about whether or not I would, in fact, pack the court or not pack the court."
Last week, Biden told reporters he would not address the issue until after the November 3 election, but his comments Monday go further than when he has demurred in his recent answers on the issue following the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by Ginsburg.
