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.
Her 31st such vote, on Wednesday, 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.
“My mother gave me great advice, which is that I may be the first to do many things," she added."I’m going to make sure I’m not the last.”Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters.
