Overview

  • Carville said that if Democrats control the White House, Senate and House in 2028, they should unilaterally admit Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia as states on day one
  • He proposed expanding the Supreme Court from nine to 13 justices as part of a coordinated effort to rebalance perceived partisan imbalances
  • He urged Congress to enact national redistricting legislation aimed at curbing gerrymandering after a Texas Republican map could net the GOP five extra House seats
  • Carville framed the package as a defensive response to President Trump’s potential election subversion and long-standing Republican power grabs
  • Constitutional scholars and lawmakers have raised questions about the ethical and legal feasibility of such sweeping reforms given stalled past efforts
