I do not know the number of ties she had to break.
Vice President Kamala Harris has broken more ties in the Senate than any Vice President since 1869. She just voted to break another tie for an extremely qualified Harvard and Yale-educated attorney nominated to the Federal Trade Commission & being obstructed by Republicans.

Not only do we live in a partisan era, we have a 50/50 senate so we spare no extra votes and need VP to break the tie unless at least one republican votes with us.
