Kamala Harris is on the Senate floor for the first time since becoming vice president and is swearing in three senators: Georgia’s Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, as well as Harris’ replacement in California, Alex Padilla.
The swearing-in of the three new senators will be groundbreaking. Warnock and Ossoff will be the first Black and first Jewish senators, respectively, representing Georgia, while Padilla will be California's first Latino senator.
Ossoff, 33, will also be the youngest senator in the chamber, and the youngest Democrat to serve in the Senate since President Joe Biden, who was sworn into the chamber at the age of 30 in 1973.
After Warnock, Ossoff and Padilla are sworn in, the party breakdown of the Senate will be 50-50. Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer will become the first New Yorker and first Jewish lawmaker to become Senate majority leader.
Harris will wield power as the Senate's crucial tie-breaking vote, helping the Biden administration confirm its appointments and giving Democrats the gavels of committees in charge of holding oversight hearings and crafting far-reaching legislation.

Crazy web of events with the people involved in all of this: Kamala swearing in her own replacement as VP, Ossof breaking President Biden’s record for youngest Senator.
@Utopia Light Also Carol Moseley Braun.
Amen and indeed! 🙏
Joe Biden, 29, was actually younger than Ossoff(33) when elected to the Senate.

Thank you everyone, for taking Mitch McConnell off his obstructive throne.
This was a stubborn one to kick out! It was about time even though he is still playing the political game.
Never liked Mitch, he’s about as creepy as Joe.
I love her laugh though!! Every time Kamala laughs I start laughing because it’s goofy but it’s also cute…😁😁😁😁
@Roshai Moore me too…makes me smile
Thank God!!!
i was in tears throughout the whole day…i took off work today because this was so historical.
@Jim Rockford Both parties need to address that issue together. Write your Senators and House of Representatives and express your opinion. Provide a couple of facts as context. If enough of us pull together Congress must act. They can’t blame the other party now. The Senate is equally divided with the deciding vote being a Democrat (VP Harris.).
It isn’t hard to send a message. If you Google for contact information for each chamber (Senate, House) a government website has all of them listed in alphabetical order, giving their websites. Each website has the contact information you can click on. Each one has a form to fill out. If you are set up to automatically fill, all you have to do is cut and paste your statement. It took me an hour to do 50 Senators but I type with two fingers! If we want change we are going to have to demand it and NOT by storming the Capitol.
Yeah a historical treason they the fraudsters just committed there COMING FOR YOU DUMPSTER 🔥 FIRE😂
lol toughen up
Agreed! It was an absolutely beautiful day!
I worked. Saw it before I had to go in, and wore my purple scrubs with pearls 💜
To all those thanking Georgia for this historic moment…YOU’RE WELCOME! #GaPeach 😊

Her laugh at the beginning gives me warm feelings
” 😂😂😂😂 Yeah that sounded pretty weird”
Can we please highlight the, “ foreign or DOMESTIC”
@First Last I hope u are not implying Kamala Harris
@First Last No one mentioned your mom.
@First Last Again, no one’s talking about your MOM.
@chemxfan They were scared of my mom. They turned DC into a green zone.
@Lilly S.H I’m surprised Joe made it out of the basement without buying the farm. Geez, the only way to get a black female president is to nominate the oldest guy with Oval Office experience?
I love her laughing after reading her own name.
yeah its a very catchy laugh….reminds me of my worst nightmares
It’s so dope and amazing at the same time! ☺️☺️☺️
I can’t believe I live to see this one of the greatest days of my life

@CatsAndPokemon you mean like the insider trading of the two Republican candidates? Compared to them he’s fine.
Now Work Begin NOW!!
She started doing her job. She has a sense of humour too!
