Her 31st such vote 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, vice president from 1825 to 1832.
WASHINGTON — Kamala Harris, who made history as the first woman or person of color to serve as vice president, has made history again by matching the record for most tiebreaking votes in the Senate.
“It is a moment and I think that there’s still so much left that we have yet to do,” Harris told reporters afterward. Unlike Calhoun, who spent eight years accumulating his total, Harris reached 31 in 2 1/2 years. It's a reflection of her unique circumstances, with a narrowly divided Senate and a sharply partisan atmosphere.
The occasion was hardly memorable or particularly ceremonial. Harris spent only a few minutes in the chamber, reciting a brief script to record her vote, and then received congratulations from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
