Whoa, that's a novel idea...

I couldnt read the rest of the tweet, but what is given as the advantage to this? Would he become a voting member even if there is not a tie?

[Axtremus]

It's a "let's concentrate power" sort of play.
Something that Glenn and @Jolly will loudly complain about had Harris (or any Democrat) tried.

[Jolly]

Uh, no.

What it amounts to, is a mostly procedural role. The President of the Senate can affect everday things like the scheduling of debate and votes. As such he's controlling the flow of the Senate. The only time Vance could vote, would be to break a tie.

Regardless of Ax wishing to project a state of pusillanimous jellyfish spines on the Republican Senate majority, I think many in that body have had enough. Witness some of the mutterings over The Turtle's latest power play.

In theory, dont you want at least the appearance of indepenence between the government sides? (executive, legislative, etc)

Harris was the deciding vote of the Inflation Reduction Act, one of the bigger budget busters in recent memory.

How's that for independence?
