Harris Faces an Awkward Election Task

“The vice presidency comes with plenty of indignities, but probably none greater than the one Kamala Harris will endure on Monday when she presides over the certification of her defeat,” the New York Times reports.

“Under the Constitution, the vice president takes the gavel when the two houses of Congress meet to formally count the Electoral College votes for president. While not every vice president has chosen to fulfill the duty, Ms. Harris has indicated that she will carry out the task, no doubt painful, of declaring that Donald Trump beat her.”
