Trump blasts Biden over silence on court-packing, claims Dem wouldn't last a full term

President Trump berated Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden during an exclusive interview on "Hannity" on Thursday night after the former vice president refused yet again to say whether he’d support efforts to expand the Supreme Court.
Earlier in the day, Biden said at a campaign stop in Phoenix that he would reveal his position on court-packing “when the election is over.”
“I think what he said was so disrespectful to the process and to the people,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “But what that means, really, is that they’re going to do it, because obviously, that means 100 percent that’s what they’re going to do. They’re going to end the filibuster and they’re going to do things that you wouldn’t have thought.”
Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers have vowed to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court before the Nov. 3 election. Barrett was nominated to fill a vacancy created when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died in September. Trump has warned that Democrats would move to “pack” the court with progressive justices if they take control of the Senate next year.
The president told Hannity if Biden were victorious, he “won’t be president for three months” before his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., “takes over” control.

“She’s the most liberal person in the Senate. She’s not a socialist, she’s a step beyond socialism,” Trump added. CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON OUR TOP STORY.
