As vice president, Ms. Harris is also the president of the closely divided Senate, where she has cast deciding votes on some of the biggest legislative achievements of the Biden era.
Democrats gathered in Chicago for their party convention have celebrated her tiebreaking record, which is already the subject of Republican attacks, playing videos showing her bringing down the gavel on those big bills.
Like Barack Obama before her, Ms. Harris never became a creature of the Senate; she used her relatively short time there as a steppingstone to higher office.
But in her role as a senator and then vice president, Ms. Harris did get a feel for the rhythms and vagaries of a legislative body that would be pivotal to her success should she become president.
