At least 3 current Democrat Senators have this month themselves said, or said through their offices that they oppose court packing. (Kristen Sinema, Joe Manchin, Gary Peters).
At least 4 of the Democrat candidates in hotly contested races have said they oppose court packing. (Mark Kelly in Arizona, Theresa Greenfield in Iowa, Cal Cunningham North Carolina, Sara Gideon Maine).
There is growing sentiment that this issue is toxic for Democrats in these states that will swing Senate control and the clearest evidence yet of that may have come with Biden's comments yesterday when he said, 'I'm "not a fan" of court packing'. This is the strongest statement he has made on the subject - a sign that they are recognizing the pressure it is putting their tight Senate races under.
