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.’”

Historical it was. The cheating and fraud set historical records.

Oh, my God! We’re back to everything that happens in the White House being “Historic.”.... They already started with the Jill will be setting a new standard for First Ladies.
I'll finish it: the standard will be low if it includes her being a selfish careerist opportunist taking advantage of standing next to a declining man in power and saying "I'm practically qualified to take over the reins myself..." like Debbie Dingell, widow of 2nd longest US Congressman John Dingell, and a certain bleach blonde Arkansas narcissist who lives in Chappaqua, NY.

I am sure there will be a 24-7 tour guide assigned to Joe to prevent him getting lost in the big mansion before finding the rest room.

Never before has a senile child molestor ChiCom owned individual stolen an election and become president—with a VP also on the ChiCom bribe list.
Historic!

With all the masks and then all the lace hankies to catch the torrents of tears it must have been impossible to see the hangers-on and identify them for the news. A sad, sad good-bye.
California loses Kammie the Commie. Try to keep your composure.

“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!’
Fun fact from history. John Adams, America’s first VP was apparently a man who rubbed many the wrong way. He thought that he would preside over the Senate as a part of his job as VP (and as the Constitution seems to direct). But the Senators pretty much stripped him of all power except for breaking ties, and it has been thus since that time.

I recently read about that very thing....Adams didn’t do well in the Senate for that very reason as you wrote...and he frequently lectured the Senate on procedural and policy matters.

If the event concerns a white dude who identifies as their sex at birth, it isn't historic anymore.
Look at the current year please and get on the right side of history, by the way BLM and transgender people have rights too.
