Vice President Kamala Harris made history on Dec. 5 for casting the most tie-breaking votes in the Senate.

Ms. Harris cast her 32nd tie-breaking vote after the Senate was deadlocked, 50-50, to advance the U.S. district judge nomination of Loren AliKhan—surpassing the record set by John C. Calhoun, who served as vice president for John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson from 1825 to 1832.
