Harris has broken 23 tie votes and has a strong shot at surpassing the record in coming months. The only vice presidents who have broken more ties are John Adams (29) and John Calhoun (31), each of whom served two terms. ⁦@Noahbierman⁩ https://t.co/VBrfeDOSOy — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly 2-1/2 centuries after the 13 American colonies declared independence from an unelected king, the nation is left weighing a somber new view of the fragility of its democracy — and the question of what, if anything, could and should be done about it. https://t.co/hj5xjBqnmM — PolitiTweet.org

The S&P 500 fell 20% in the first six months of 2022, the worst first half of a year since 1970. But if it follows the 1970 pattern, it could rebound. The market fell 21% the first half of that year, then rose 27% the next six months. ⁦@elaineywchen⁩ https://t.co/VbVJCepmk1 — PolitiTweet.org
