Harris and Biden have both emphasized that she will be a “full partner” to the president-elect, in a role that Biden likens to his own under former President Barack Obama. But, unlike Biden in 2009, the first-term senator from California doesn’t have many clearly defined policy lanes that could become a natural place to carve out issues for herself.
In the run-up to the Georgia elections, Harris said little in public or private about the prospect of serving as a tie-breaking vote. She has long resisted engaging in hypothetical scenarios and has spent her time focused on the transition, hiring staff and preparing for Jan 20. She joined Biden in campaigning in Georgia, making a late, populist appeal to voters and criticizing Republicans for blocking $2,000 COVID-relief checks.
Had Republicans maintained their advantage, Harris’s duties at the Capitol would have almost certainly been far more limited. Biden’s decades in the Senate and his personal history with outgoing Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made him the natural conduit to the chamber where Harris only served for a few years.
Or as we like to think of her TheVoiceOfReason
I wouldn't have used that word 'nebulous.' She and Joe have a ton of work to do. She'll be a very busy lady as it is. This tossed onto her is just when it's necessary to break a tie. Maybe it won't be if they all start to work together more.
Mitch will become the thing he hates most- a minority
Puppet
Imagine an ineligible immigrant inside white house,,America is a big joke these days!!
She will always vote to kill babies. Life is meaningless unless one is of a valid revolutionary class, eh? That is not a “new one,” is it.
so she just ends up right back in the Senate, guess hindsight really is 2020
The title is President of the Senate and should be changed as such, her job would be to break a tie if there were one, put some respect on her name today is not the day Satan and I rebuke you in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen 🙏🏽 GASenateRaces AnatomyOfCapitolAttack
And now, the most powerful woman in America.

Demacraps ste election a fraud!!! Unify no way!!
You are nebulous
50/50 is what it needs to be, not just on this election, but moving forward. This will force the senators to work together and pass laws that work for both sides. One party dominating in not benefiting voters. Fix gerrymandering issue, 2 Senators per state, & make it a law.
Good luck to you
GOP, Thank your dear President for that.
This will be a great experience for Kamala. She's going to learn a lot and it will be part of her experience towards her growth to the Presidency in eight years.
You misspelled JoeManchinWV
relief, in many ways
Then the State of Georgia likes Harris because she joined in BLM riots told the supports to keep rioting and burning down the towns.
