Trump campaign says Harris 'driving the bus' on court packing issue

The Trump campaign on Sunday questioned who was “driving the bus” for the Biden ticket on the issue of Supreme Court "packing" – suggesting former Vice President Joe Biden’s running mate Sen. Kamala Harris is making the campaign's call.

During a call on Sunday, Trump’s deputy campaign manager Justin Clark slammed the Democratic presidential nominee for continuing to dodge questions on whether he supports adding seats to the nine-member U.S. Supreme Court, where conservatives currently hold a majority.

“His unwillingness to answer this question is obviously an answer,” Clark said. “Joe Biden was previously opposed to packing the court. The late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was also opposed to court-packing.”

Clark added: “Who is in control here? Biden-Harris? Or Harris-Biden?"

Clark went on to point to comments made by Harris, D-Calif., during the primaries, in which she said she was “open to the idea” of court-packing.

“I’d just like to know who is driving the bus on court-packing,” Clark said, warning that Democrats want to “monkey around with a court that has been stable in size for over 150 years.”

“What else are they going to change the rules on to bow to the radical left-wing mob?” Clark said.

Clark’s comments come as Democrats have threatened to add justices if President Trump’s nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who was tapped to fill the vacancy left by late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is confirmed ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
