In the same context, he previously commented, "I think it would be an incredible honour… I’m going to hopefully work on things like access to justice and access to opportunity and access to the American dream."

On the other hand, Harris will resign her Senate seat tomorrow and California's secretary of the state Democrat Alex Padilla will be appointed to serve the final two years of Harris’ term. The new vice-president will give no farewell Senate floor speech.

Harris was elected America’s first female, first Black and first South Asian vice president-elect.

The new vice president has achieved with President-Elect Joe Biden a landslide victory over Donald Trump, scoring success for millions of women, often overlooked, historically underrepresented and systematically ignored. However, now they have become the recipients of that new power for the first time in the United States’s 200-plus-year history.

According to CNN, Harris’ triumph, in particular, marked a new high point in a career of barrier-breaking accomplishments, from San Francisco district attorney to California attorney general to just the second-ever Black female US senator.
