Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris has become undisputedly the most active Vice President in United States history when it comes to the official duties of the Vice President. Besides maintaining a pulse to serve as a potential successor to the President, she’s excelled at the only other official duty of the VP: Harris has cast more tie-breaking votes while presiding as President of the Senate than any other Vice President, according to the Associated Press.
With a vote to confirm a new federal judge Tuesday morning, Harris cast her 32nd vote to break a tie in the Senate, surpassing the 31 such votes made by John C. Calhoun during his eight-year term from 1825 to 1832; thanks to today’s political climate which is much like the antebellum period, Harris accomplished her record in less than half the time. Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville is expected to object to Calhoun’s erasure from the record book, calling it CRT gone wild.
