Biden Says He’s ‘Not A Fan’ Of Expanding The Supreme Court

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, seen here at a campaign event in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Monday, told a local TV station he is “not a fan” of court-packing.

After weeks of deflecting on whether he would seek to increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court if elected president, Democratic nominee Joe Biden on Monday went the furthest he’s gone on the issue as of late, saying he’s “not a fan.”

“I’ve already spoken: I’m not a fan of court packing, but I don’t want to get off on that whole issue. I want to keep focused,” the former vice president told WKRC-TV after a campaign event in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Biden, who polls show is leading the presidential race with just three weeks to go, largely pitched an economic message in Ohio.
