Kamala Harris says the US Supreme Court should expand to 13 justices

Former Vice President Kamala Harris said Friday that the United States should consider expanding the Supreme Court to be made up of 13 justices, a popular idea among Democrats who have increasingly pushed for court reform.

"We need to revisit the point of expanding the court to 13 justices like we have 13 district courts," Harris said at the National Urban League's annual conference in Nashville, also calling for a review of the Electoral College and statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, DC. The federal judiciary has 13 circuit courts and 94 district courts, according to the Department of Justice.
