US vice-president Kamala Harris has been assigned a high-risk task by his boss, President Joe Biden, to lead the administration’s effort to protect voting rights. While both tasks are fraught with the high risk of failure, success could be highly rewarding for Harris, who is being dubbed as presidential-nominee-in-waiting. Harris further stated that she will also work with members of Congress to help advance the bills. Without Manchin’s support, the voting rights legislation will most likely fail in the evenly-divided Senate. Harris is set to depart Washington later on Sunday on her first foreign trip as vice-president.
