Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote on Democrats‘ $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill that became the law of the land last week, marking another high-profile moment for the first female vice president in U.S. history.
This week Harris, who is of Indian descent, is at the center of the administration’s efforts to confront growing anti-Asian violence.
Harris may not be the president, but for those on the front lines of the battle to see a woman behind the resolute desk, her ascendancy to the No.2 spot is an undeniable victory to build on.
„That is a huge milestone to cross over,“ said Stephanie Schriock, president of political action committee Emily’s List, which has been on the front lines of that battle since 1985. „She will be in the room where the big decisions are being made, where the agenda is being set, with a perspective that has never been there before.“
