Former Vice President Kamala Harris has unveiled what she calls a “no bad ideas brainstorm” for Democrats, proposing Supreme Court expansion, statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington D.C., and a fresh push to abolish the Electoral College. Appearing on Fox Report, Fox News contributor Liz Peek had a blunt response: “It turns out there are some bad ideas, and all of those are indeed bad ideas.”
Peek argued that Harris’s proposals are driven by political desperation rather than policy substance. With progressive voters and young Democrats gravitating toward figures like AOC, Harris is trying to “get out front” and position herself as a firebrand ahead of a potential 2028 run. Peek noted a striking statistic: while President Trump enters the midterms seven points less popular than in 2018, Democrats are a staggering 30 points less popular—largely because their own base feels they aren’t fighting hard enough against Trump.
On the Electoral College, Peek delivered a civics lesson that she says too many Americans—particularly on the left—need to hear. The system was designed to prevent large coastal population centers like New York and Los Angeles from dominating national elections. “Democrats have won with it,” she pointed out, citing both Joe Biden’s and Barack Obama’s victories. “It’s their policies that are denying Democrats the Oval Office, not the Electoral College.”
Peek also highlighted a glaring irony in Democrats’ complaints about representation: all six New England states have approximately 40 percent registered Republican voters, yet not a single Republican holds a congressional or Senate seat from the region. “Every time Democrats get whiny about redistricting, that’s a very fair example of where there is no representation at all,” she said.
