US VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS SECURES MOST TIEBREAKING VOTES IN SENATE
The Daily Guardian
|July 14, 2023
Kamala Harris, who made history as the first woman or person of colour to serve as vice president, made history again on Wednesday as she matched the record for most tiebreaking votes in the U.S. Senate.
-
The vote, her 31st, advanced the nomination of Kalpana Kotagal to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The only other vice president to cast so many was John C. Calhoun, who served as vice president from 1825 to 1832.
But unlike Calhoun, who spent eight years accumulating his total, Harris tied the record in two and a half years. It’s a reflection of her unique circumstances, with a narrowly divided Senate and a sharply partisan atmosphere.
