Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden refused to say during Tuesday night’s presidential debate whether he would support adding justices to the Supreme Court or ending the filibuster should he become president.

“The issue is, the American people should speak. You should go out and vote,” Biden continued.

“I’m not going to answer that question,” Biden responded.

The exchange became more heated as Trump continued to interrupt the former vice president, who at one point addressed his opponent with, “Will you shut up, man?”
