Vice President Kamala Harris and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) will be elevated to the highest-held position of their careers at the conclusion of the 2024 election season .

Their voting records in the Senate provide telling insights into their ideological leanings and agendas.

In 2019 , nonpartisan congressional tracker YouGov rated Harris the most liberal senator.

Vance has only been on the job since 2023 , but his limited record shows he has been more willing to vote across party lines.

Four Democratic -held seats are rated as toss-ups and one is rated as being “Solid Republican .” The Hill ’s 2024 election forecast gives the GOP a 78% chance to take control of the Senate , predicting a 51 -47 majority with two independents caucusing with Democrats . If Harris wins in November , she would have the power to sign or veto bills that make it through Congress . She would also be able to issue executive orders to execute certain policies without being voted on by Congress . The Washington Examiner reached out to Harris and Vance for comment..
