For Tuesday:
1) She joined President Biden in the Oval Office to receive the President's Daily Briefings
2) At noon, she had lunch with the President at the Private Dining Room
3) Vice President Harris was in the Congress building in her second job as Presiding Officer of the Senate to cast her fifth and sixth tie breaking vote.
She broke two tie votes on President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the White House's Office of Personnel Management, marking her fifth and sixth votes as tiebreaker since assuming the vice presidency on January 20th.
Kiran Arjandas Ahuja who was nominated by the President a few weeks ago to lead the Office of Personnel Management, had a 48-48 previous tie vote with Republicans fighting against Ahuja’s nomination, focusing on two issues that are critical for messaging on cultural issues ahead of the midterm elections: critical race theory and abortion rights.
After a 50-50 vote on Tuesday, Vice President Harris casted the tie break vote.
4) Then she stayed in the Presiding Officer's seat while looking on as votes for one Voting Right bill, For The People Act were casted.
Unfortunately, The Senate failed to pass a broad voting rights package on Tuesday, putting a halt to Democratic legislation aimed at offsetting recent restrictive state laws sought by Republican-led states.
The Senate was unable to bring the For the People Act up for consideration. With a 50-50 vote, it fell short of the 60 required to override a GOP filibuster. All Democratic senators voted to start discussion, while Republicans voted unanimously to stop it.
Democrats mainly praise the For the People Act as vital because Republican-led states have enacted a spate of new voting restrictions that civil rights groups worry would depress the vote for marginalized groups and make voting more difficult.
After she met with the press for her remarks on the failed passing on a broad voting rights.
