Kamala Harris, the former vice president, addressed the National Urban League’s annual conference in Nashville, Tennessee, on Friday.
Speaking to an audience of community leaders and activists, Harris outlined a series of policy initiatives that could define a potential presidential bid in 2028.
She called for a review of the Electoral College, arguing that the current system no longer reflects the nation’s democratic principles.
The former senator also advocated expanding the Supreme Court, suggesting an increase in the number of justices to improve judicial representation.
Harris proposed granting statehood to both Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, framing the measures as steps toward full political inclusion.
She highlighted the Senate Judiciary Committee’s authority to set its own procedural rules, noting that such changes could circumvent traditional filibuster constraints.
During her remarks, Harris referenced her tenure on the Senate Judiciary Committee, noting she was the second Black woman ever elected to the United States Senate.
The proposals presented at the conference align with broader discussions within the Democratic Party about long‑term institutional reforms.
