One top House Democrat proposed that the next Senate after the November election should pack the U.S. Supreme Court if Republicans nominate a replacement of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“If Sen. McConnell and @SenateGOP were to force through a nominee during the lame duck session—before a new Senate and President can take office—then the incoming Senate should immediately move to expand the Supreme Court,” Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) wrote in a Twitter post.
