Kamala Harris resigns her Senate seat ahead of historic inauguration
New York Daily News ^ | January 18, 2021 | Chris Sommerfeldt

Kamala Harris officially resigned her Senate seat on Monday ahead of her historic inauguration as the first woman vice president in American history.

Harris, who has served as California’s junior Democratic senator since 2017, submitted a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom saying her resignation took effect at noon. Newsom later in the day appointed Alex Padilla, California’s secretary of state, to serve out the remaining two years of Harris’ term.

In an op-ed published by the San Francisco Chronicle before her resignation, Harris told Californians that “this is not goodbye” and suggested they haven’t seen the last of her in the Senate chamber.

“As I resign from the Senate, I am preparing to take an oath that would have me preside over it,” Harris wrote. “As senator-turned-Vice-President Walter Mondale once pointed out, the vice presidency is the only office in our government that ‘belongs to both the executive branch and the legislative branch.’”

Oh, my God! We’re back to everything that happens in the White House being “Historic.” I presume the press will also resurrect “unexpected.”

What's the difference between Bill Clinton and K Harris?

Clinton used his power to get sex.

Harris used her sex to get power.

So Kamala Harris was forced to resign her position and Trump was not? Got it.

Heels-Up Whore-Ass is getting ready for the posthumous tribute to Sleepy Joe’s demise, probably from having swallowed poison just before he fell down the stairs and landed on a knife just below the noose.

Amazing to consider that Sleepy Joe has no idea that he won the race and will probably be very confused when he goes into that big White House

Joe: "Darn it all. You're the third person in two days coming in here and measuring my exact height with a tape measure. Are you going to surprise me with some kind of specially made bed or something? It's not my birthday."

She designs her seat after Pence congratulated her Saturday. And late as possible.

Period.

These people are more sure this thing was stolen than most of us are.

“As I resign from the Senate, I am preparing to take an oath that would have me preside over it,”

(She believes she's taking OWNERSHIP of the Senate.......)

'Oh Boy I get to Rule!'

“Joe’s tragic death will be unexpected.”

My read on Jill is that if they do away with Joe they’ll have to do away with her, too. They can’t have her running around spouting “conspiracy” theories. So, a plane crash or a car bomb suitably blamed on Trump’s terrorists. That would be a twofer.

Historic on account of election fraud and the undesirability of the “winners”.

Anything else takes a second.
