Former Vice President Kamala Harris has explicitly stated her <a title=\"Left Building Momentum to Pack Supreme Court\" href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/tipsheet\/tomknighton\/2026\/07\/03\/left-building-momentum-to-pack-supreme-court-n2678729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support for packing the Court<\/a>, and the growing Democratic Socialist wing of the Democrat Party has campaigned on abolishing the body altogether.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If the Democrats take control, even if they don&#8217;t pack the Supreme Court, they will undo all of the things that President Trump has done to move the economy forward. The current Congress has been remiss in passing the Trump agenda, but they did pass the One Big Beautiful Bill, giving Americans back more of their money. I am not sure the provisions of that bill will last if the Democrats take control of Congress. The goal of the current Democrat party (which has moved considerably left) is to pack the Supreme Court, admit Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. as states to insure a permanent Senate majority, and create a one-party country indefinitely. If the voters allow this to happen, they will have to live with the results. The results won&#8217;t be pretty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, Townhall posted an article about some of the Democrat plans for Congressional action if they take Congress in the mid-terms.
