“I think that should be a discussion that we should have.”
Former Vice President Kamala Harris suggested that the US should consider eliminating the Electoral College, following her defeat to President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Harris made the remarks during an appearance on a podcast hosted by Don Lemon. During the interview, Lemon referenced a recent conversation with Democratic Representative Ro Khanna, who argued that his party should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices if they regain control of the White House and Congress. Harris agreed that Democrats should “absolutely” explore the idea, claiming that the Supreme Court has done things to “destroy” constitutional principles.
Lemon then asked Harris about her views on the Electoral College.
“I think we need to look at that, too. Yes. Yes, I do,” Harris said.
Lemon claimed that Americans are being governed by a “minority in this country,” saying that most people aren't as “extreme” as those who are “MAGA.” He also claimed that America is moving toward “Christian nationalism.”
Harris responded in agreement, saying that there is “some real shaking up that we have to do of the rules and the structure.” When Lemon asked if that included getting rid of the Electoral College, Harris replied “I think that should be a discussion that we should have.”
Harris suffered a crushing electoral defeat against Trump in 2024, with Trump winning 312 electoral votes compared to Harris’ 226.
Critics of the Electoral College have pointed to instances when a president has won the Electoral College but lost the popular vote, such as Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016. However, Harris also lost the national popular vote by more than 2 million votes, trailing Trump by roughly 1.5 percentage points.
