Vice President Harris set a new record on Wednesday for breaking the most Senate tie votes in recent history.
On Wednesday, Harris cast her 14th and 15th tiebreaking votes, respectively, to help Senate Democrats confirm Rachael Rollins to be the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts.
Harris's uptick in tiebreaking votes comes as Democrats navigate an evenly split 50-50 Senate.
Harris broke her first tie vote on Feb. 5, and while most have been related to nominations, Democrats are also expected to need her to break ties during the floor debate on President Biden's climate and spending bill.
Senate Confirms Biden’s 40th Judge, Tying a Reagan-Era Record
Dec. 18, 2021
WASHINGTON — The Senate confirmed President Biden’s 40th federal judicial nominee early on Saturday morning, the most judges confirmed in a president’s first year in the last 40 years.
In a pre-dawn mad dash before leaving Washington for the holidays, lawmakers confirmed 10 district court judges, bringing the year-end total to 40 and notching an achievement not seen since former President Ronald Reagan. It underscored how the White House has set a rapid pace in filling vacancies on the federal bench, even besting the records set by the Trump administration, which maintained a laser focus on reshaping the judiciary.
The Senate confirmed 18 circuit and district court judges in President Donald J. Trump’s first year in office, and 12 in President Barack Obama’s inaugural year.
