Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) dodged a pair of direct questions from Vice President Mike Pence during the vice presidential debate in Salt Lake City on Oct. 7 about whether she and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden would pack the Supreme Court in the event that the Republican-led Senate confirms President Donald Trump’s nominee to the nation’s highest court before Inauguration Day.
After the two nominees exchanged views on the Supreme Court, Pence used his time at the opening of a response to another query to ask Harris if she would add seats to the Supreme Court if Trump nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed before the future administration takes office.
