We've all heard the schtick - the Democrats have the majority because Kamala-toe can cast any tie-breaking vote.
OK, fine. How many have there been, and on what issues?
This short article explains it:
Vice President Kamala Harris (D) cast two tie-breaking votes in the Senate on Oct. 20 to invoke cloture on and to confirm the nomination of Catherine Elizabeth Lhamon for assistant secretary for civil rights of the Department of Education. In both votes, the Senate split 50-50 along party lines.
As of Oct. 20, Harris has cast 11 tie-breaking votes in the Senate. Prior to Oct. 20, the last tie-breaking vote she cast was to invoke cloture on the nomination of Rohit Chopra for director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Sept. 30.
In the past four decades, vice presidents have cast a total of 43 tie-breaking votes. Vice President Mike Pence (R) cast the most during this time period with 13 tie-breaking votes.
John Adams cast the first tie-breaking vote on July 18, 1789. In total, there have been 279 tie-breaking votes from 37 vice presidents. Twelve vice presidents, including Joe Biden (D) and Dan Quayle (R), never cast a tie-breaking vote during their time in office.
