Live Coverage of US Elections: Harris Supports Biden’s Supreme Court Reforms Despite House Speaker Calling Them ‘Dead on Arrival’ | US Elections 2024

Kamala Harris has publicly endorsed Joe Biden’s proposed supreme court reforms, which include term limits for justices, a binding code of conduct, and a constitutional amendment to remove immunity for crimes committed by a sitting president. Harris stated that these reforms are necessary to restore confidence in the court and ensure that no one is above the law. The news comes as Donald Trump has agreed to an interview with the FBI regarding an assassination attempt, where it was confirmed that a bullet hit Trump’s ear. Additionally, Harris has raised $200 million in a week since being endorsed by Biden, showing increased enthusiasm for her campaign. However, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has vehemently opposed Biden’s reform proposals, calling them a danger to the balance of power and the rule of law. Biden, in an op-ed, outlined his stance on reforms, proposing 18-year term limits and a code of conduct for justices. The Harris campaign has criticized Trump’s recent remarks as a promise to end democracy, further emphasizing the importance of the upcoming election. Amidst these developments, Biden is expected to speak about his reform proposals at a national address later today commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act.
