However, what I received was a message lobbying in favor of Kamala Harris (“Vice President Harris cast the tie-breaking vote” and “Vice President Harris and I believe that health care should be a right, not a privilege”). By the way, there’s nothing partisan about my argument. Yes,...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Kamala Harris, who made history as the first woman, the first Black person and the first person of South Asian descent to serve as vice president, has made history again by matching the record for most tiebreaking votes in the Senate. Her 31st such vote,...
As president of the Senate, Harris cast the most tie-breaking votes in history, shattering a nearly 200-year-old record. When Biden dropped out of the 2024 race and announced his support for Harris, she responded by saying: On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his ext...
And as vice president, she cast a tie-breaking vote for the most ambitious climate action plan in our nation’s history,’’ the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. “Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will fight for a future where we all have clean air, clean water and healthy ...

The efforts to tie downballot Democrats, who have polled significantly ahead of Biden in some states, to the presidential ticket, fit familiar patterns. Dave McCormick, who is challenging Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, slammed what he called the “Biden-Harris-Casey” border policy. He and...
Delegates wore suffragette white; Harris’ suit was deep navy blue. The lack of fanfare over a potential first woman president is a dramatic shift from 2016, when breaking the glass ceiling was at the forefront of Hillary Clinton’s nomination. But even if she never said the wor...
