PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – With just five weeks to go until Election Day, the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remains very close.

The US Supreme Court has played a large role in how this election season has played out. Last Thursday, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden introduced a bill that would bring fundamental changes to the nation’s high court.

The senator said the Judicial Modernization and Transparency Act aims to restore balance among the three branches of government, increase transparency, and restore public trust in the Supreme Court as it faces a “legitimacy crisis.”

“The Supreme Court is in crisis and bold solutions are necessary to restore the public trust,” Wyden said. “More transparency, more accountability and more checks on a power hungry Supreme Court are just what the American people are asking for.”

Wyden will join KOIN 6 News at 5 for a live interview about the state of the presidential race, his proposed bill about the Supreme Court and other topics.

KOIN 6 News will have more information later in the day.
