Vice President Kamala Harris just tied the record for tiebreakers.

Harris, who will be in office at least another 18 months and is seeking reelection, has tied John C. Calhoun's record for tiebreaking votes in the Senate at 31. The vote was to invoke cloture on the nomination of Kalpana Kotagal to join the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Calhoun's record of 31 tiebreakers has stood for nearly 200 years, as his term as vice president ran from 1825 to 1832. Harris quickly matched his tally thanks to a 50-50 Senate during her first two years in office, followed by one that is technically 51-49 in Democrats' favor but has been hampered by absences and defections.

Vice presidents, as president of the Senate, cast tiebreaking votes when the upper chamber is deadlocked, though it's a fairly rare occurrence that has happened less than 300 times since the nation's founding. Joe Biden and Dan Quayle never cast a tiebreaker during their vice presidencies.

Harris, by contrast, has had to cast so many tiebreakers that some feel the practice distracts her from her other duties. Besides Calhoun, Harris, and John Adams, no vice president has cast more than 19 tiebreaking votes in office.

Among the more notable tiebreakers Harris has made were votes to approve the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan stimulus package and the $891 billion Inflation Reduction Act. She cast four tiebreakers in a single day on May 11, 2022.

Along with her frequent tiebreakers, Harris enjoys a high profile for a vice president because she would become commander in chief if Biden, 80, cannot complete a first or second term.
