 He's one of 100 senators, so being the vice president, who can potentially break ties in the Senate, seems like a step up.

In May 23, Harris posted, Senator Mark Kelly has been a fearless leader who has served this nation in the halls of the Senate and from thousands of miles above Earth. Today, I am congratulating my friend, Senator Kelly, on his well-earned induction into the Astronaut Hall of Fame. Wow.
