Kamala Harris says she 'cannot wait to cast the deciding vote to break the filibuster on voting rights and reproductive rights'
salarshani@businessinsider.com (Sarah Al-Arshani) -
Vice President Kamala Harris said she's looking forward to casting the tiebreaking vote in the Senate on voting and reproductive rights.
"For me, as Vice President, I'm also president of the Senate. And — in our first year in office, some of the historians here may know I actually broke John Adams's record of casting the most tiebreaking votes in a single term. How about that? How about that?" Harris said during remarks to the Democratic National Committee on Saturday.
The bill would neutralize state bans and toss out state regulations. The US House passed the Women's Health Protection Act in September 2021 by a 218-211 vote. It failed when it went before the Senate in February months before the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 landmark decision that made abortions legal up until 24 weeks in June.
