Mansour: A Democrat Win in Georgia Could Make Kamala Harris One of the Most Powerful People in the WorldRebecca Mansour 16 Dec 2020
Kamala Harris stands to become one of the most powerful vice presidents in American history if the Democrats win the two Senate runoff elections in Georgia next month.
That’s because if the Democrats win those races, the Senate will be evenly split 50-50, and that will give a Vice President Harris the power to cast the tie-breaking vote to hand control of the Senate to the Democrats, making the Democrats the Senate majority. And with control of the chamber, the Democrats will have the power to set the Senate’s legislative agenda; decide which bills, nominations, and measures get taken to the floor for a vote; assign the leaders and members of the various Senate committees; and choose what those committees will investigate.
Of course, many vice presidents have been called upon to cast a Senate tie-breaker even when one party had a clear majority. But a split Senate has happened only three times in U.S. history: in 1881, 1953, and for nearly six months in 2001.
So, the outcome of the Georgia Senate races could put Kamala Harris in a position enjoyed by very few vice presidents.
But even more important, Georgia will determine whether Harris can cast the deciding vote on a whole slew of far-left legislation that could dramatically change the course of our country and America’s place in the geopolitical landscape.
