CLAIM: Gov. Josh Shapiro claimed at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris that former President Donald Trump “packed” the Supreme Court when he was in office.
Trump entered office with one vacancy on the court left by the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Former President Barack Obama appointed now-Attorney General Merrick Garland to fill the seat after Scalia died in January 2016. Then, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had already made clear that the Senate would not confirm an Obama appointee to fill the seat, citing the election season as his reasoning.
