President Joe Biden has suggested he will appoint progressive justices to the Supreme Court if he wins a second term in the White House in November.
“The next president, they’re going to be able to appoint a couple of justices… Look, if in fact we’re able to change some of the justices when they retire and put in really progressive judges like we’ve always had, tell me that won’t change your life,” he said during a campaign rally in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

He’s had 4 years to do it. But surely he’ll really do it just after he wins the election he looks likely to lose.
Is the suggestion that you think he alone can change the size?
any president can
Misinformation. CONGRESS decides.
He can ask congress to add another judge, but congress has to actually approve the appointments.
He’s telling them they better “cut the malarkey” or else he’ll say something else that makes him sound comically old.
