The tiebreaking vote on voting and reproductive rights will be cast by the Vice President.

In our first year in office, I broke John Adams' record of casting the most tiebreaking votes. Is that something we should discuss? Harris made a speech to the DNC on Saturday.

She said that she couldn't wait to cast the deciding vote to break the cloture.
