A prominent political figure has renewed calls for electoral reform, urging greater emphasis on the popular vote in presidential elections during a conversation with actress Keke Palmer. The discussion also highlighted support for granting statehood to Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, framing these moves as steps toward a more representative democracy. The remarks come amid ongoing debates over voting systems and territorial governance in the United States. Supporters of the proposals argue they would address long-standing disparities in political power.
The former vice president told Keke Palmer the popular vote 'has to matter' and pushed for DC and Puerto Rico statehood.
