Joe should do it after the votes are counted in November, irrespective of who wins. If its a Trump win, a packed court gives some stability and a check on Trump. If its a Harris win, then there’s no fallout for Harris making the call, and she has 4 years of a stable and sane Supreme Court.
Congress would have to pass a bill to pack the court, which the President would sign. The new Congress is seated early, though. If Democrats got their majorities they can send Joe a bill right away in the 2 weeks overlap.
Kamala could do it. I’m not saying she would, but she’s not biden, and he definitely wasn’t gonna do it. We can hope.
* Only if dems keep the senate, though. This is why down ballot races matter a lot
Biden is such a wuss when it comes to stuff like precedents

This is a good point
