WASHINGTON (AP) – Kamala Harris will make history on Wednesday when she becomes the nation’s first female vice president – and the first Black woman and the first woman of South Asian descent to hold that office.
But that’s only where her boundary-breaking role begins. A confluence of crises confronts the Biden administration, and an evenly divided Senate means that she will break any tie votes.
Harris is shaping up to be a central player in addressing everything from the coronavirus pandemic to criminal justice reform.
Harris’ chief spokeswoman, Symone Sanders, says Harris has a hand in all aspects of Biden’s agenda.
