Kamala Harris: ‘There Will Be a Marble Bust of Me In Congress… I Am a Historic Figure’

Olivia Rondeau 9 Dec 2025

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is looking forward to a marble bust of herself being put on display in the U.S. Capitol, brushing off concerns about 2028 to instead focus on her “historic figure” status, in an interview with the New York Times.

Speaking with the publication’s Shane Goldmacher, the 61-year-old failed presidential candidate was unwilling to talk about whether or not she is considering another attempt at the White House.

“It’s three years from nooooow,” Harris pleaded in an interview with the Times conducted last month in Nashville, Tennessee. “I mean, honestly.”

She added, “I understand the focus on ’28 and all that. But there will be a marble bust of me in Congress. I am a historic figure like any vice president of the United States ever was.”

The U.S. Senate maintains a collection of vice presidential busts, with the chamber’s rules stating that “marble busts of those who have been Vice Presidents of the United States shall be placed in the Senate wing of the Capitol from time to time, [and] that the Architect of the Capitol is authorized, subject to the advice and approval of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, to carry into execution the object of this resolution…”

One of the busts is located in the vice president’s formal office as head of the Senate, twenty are placed in niches in the gallery walls of the Senate Chamber, and the remainder are in the second-floor corridors of the Senate wing adjacent to the chamber, according to the Architect of the Capitol’s office.

The busts of former vice presidents Joe Biden, Mike Pence, and Harris are still in progress, with the bust of Vice President JD Vance to be commissioned when he exits office.

Instead of attempting to take the helm of the leaderless Democrat party, Harris has been on tour promoting her book, 107 Days.

“Thousands of people are coming to hear my voice. Thousands and thousands,” she told the Times. “Every place we’ve gone has been sold out.”

I honestly thought that Barak had the biggest ego on the planet.

And now this from the biggest idiot ever to occupy a seat in Congress. (Apologies to the family of Sheila Jackson Lee)

Interesting that she is beginning to capture the black vote.  I'd venture to say it's about the economy which Trump needs to take full responsibility.  Blaming it on Biden just isn't going to cut it.  Trump painted a picture of a better economy because of tariffs, a promise of $2,000.00 in everyone's pocket and that hasn't happened. Things right  now don't seem very promising for the GOP in the mid terms.

“Black voters, particularly in the South, have swung the party’s last two open presidential nominating contests. Ms. Harris has made a point of traveling through the South on her book tour. Her stop in Birmingham, Ala., was so popular that the venue added a second event.”

Her image etched on a trailer hitch?

Historic as the Titantic, the Hindenburg, and New Coke combined.

Cackle's picture will be next to "epic fail" in the dictionary.

She may be right. She is the first black woman VP. So there's that. She might also get the biggest E.G.O. award.

I reckon they could use a new doorstop.

She is thick as a brick..

Bust in her sphere might be the second definition of between the neck and waist (with Willy Brown coming at it with both hands).

For S & G's, wiki VPOTUS.

There have been 50 of them.  I am a political junkie, and still only heard of / familiar with 29 of them.  Especially the bunch prior to 1900.

I hope Cackles realizes she is and will be in the same hall, infamy, and league with Schuyler Colfax.
