Vice President-elect Kamala Harris said in an interview with The Times that she will resign her Senate seat Monday.

, giving Democrats control of the chamber — which is divided 50-50 between the two parties — and the ability to advance nominations and some budget-related policies. But major legislation will still require 60 votes and support from Republicans to overcome the Senate filibuster rule.Harris joked that she was not sure whether the two days between her jobs as senator and vice president is “heaven or hell,” given the amount of work she has done during the transition.

Harris said she also took inspiration from former Democratic Gov. Pat Brown, whom she credited with helping the state become a technological leader. She said she had been at the Capitol earlier that day for a meeting of the Senate Intelligence Committee and was working elsewhere in Washington when she was evacuated. She said she watched the mob enter the Capitol on television from a secure location, while texting with colleagues who shared their commitment to return to complete the election certification process.

House Democrats impeached President Trump for inciting the mob last week. But some have questioned whether Biden and Harris, who are inheriting a public health and economic crisis, can afford to lose time and attention with a Senate trial that could begin this week.“I trust they can do their job, and I trust that everybody can multitask,” she said, without weighing in on how much time senators should devote to a trial.

- She looks nice at picture..... - She made the right decision for the celebration.. it must be like this due to the situation.....

Are we celebrating the beginning of socialism or communism?

EWW

Nope. Voted for you guys but don’t give two shits about the ceremonies. Give that money to Americans that are suffering right now. We can celebrate when we have some victories. Haven’t had those in a while...

nationというのAmericaじゃない どこのnation 怖そう?

I’m celebrating nothing - she’s a psychopath.

Oh, yeah. How has liquor some sales been since November 6th ?

Im sure many hundreds of people will watch the inauguration online from the comfort of their family room. The never Trumper‘s who voted for Biden because they hate Trump probably expect Biden to be impeached because of the Ukraine “thing“. Turns out it wasn’t fake news.

Hmm

Of course she said that. It is a platitude.

An administration with a work ethic how refreshing. Oh and ethics

I’m celebrating already KamalaHarris 🇺🇸
