Former Vice President Kamala Harris called for significant constitutional and political changes during a Thursday livestream on the "Win with Black Women" podcast, where she participated in what she described as a "no bad idea brainstorm" for the Democratic Party.

During the session, Harris proposed that Democrats should expand the Supreme Court and reform the electoral system when they regain power. The suggestions were framed as ideas to be considered as part of broader Democratic strategy discussions.

The proposals drew immediate criticism from Republican leaders, who characterized Harris's suggestions as radical changes to fundamental American institutions. Critics labeled her an "institutional arsonist" for advocating what they described as fundamental transformations to the Supreme Court and Electoral College systems.

Supreme Court expansion, often referred to as "court packing," would involve increasing the number of justices beyond the current nine. Electoral College reform could encompass various changes to how presidents are elected, potentially including the elimination of the system in favor of a national popular vote.

Both proposals would require significant political support and, in the case of Electoral College changes, would likely necessitate constitutional amendments. The ideas reflect ongoing Democratic discussions about institutional reforms following recent electoral and judicial outcomes.
