Vice Pres­i­dent Kamala Har­ris has cast the most tie-break­ing Sen­ate votes in U.S. his­to­ry, a feat that’s under­scored the increas­ing­ly par­ti­san and divid­ed nature of the upper cham­ber. But the achieve­ment also lays the ground­work for Repub­li­can attacks against Har­ris, the fron­trun­ner to be the 2024 Demo­c­ra­t­ic pres­i­den­tial nom­i­nee. “It’s a big issue,” Sen­ate Minor­i­ty […]
