Former member of Congress
Ben Sasse
Sen. for NE, Republican, in the 117th Congress (2021–2022).
No longer in Congress. This page shows their record in the past Congresses on this site, with the seat and party they held then.
Time in office
Every stretch of service in Congress, from the congress-legislators records.
| Office | Seat | Party | From | To | Congresses |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| U.S. Senate, Nebraska | NE | Republican | Jan. 6, 2015 | Jan. 8, 2023 | 114th–118th |
Voting record by President
All the votes on this site from their time in office, added up under the President in office on the day of each vote. One President's figures are never combined with another's, and Trump's two terms are separate. A new President can take office partway through a Congress, so these can differ slightly from a Congress's own figures.
| President | Congresses | Votes with the President | Party loyalty | Missed votes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Joseph R. Biden Jr. (2021–2025) | 117th | 21% (66 of 315) | 93% (675 of 722) | 6% (55 of 947) |
| Donald J. Trump (2017–2021) | 117th, 116th, 115th | 95% (490 of 514) | 99% (734 of 740) | 2% (30 of 1,293) |
| Barack Obama (2009–2017) | 115th, 114th | 47% (39 of 83) | 95% (319 of 335) | 0.9% (5 of 530) |
Every Congress
Each row is that Congress alone, and the President score is for the President of that time. Missed votes are left out of both scores.
| Congress | Seat | Party | Party loyalty | Votes with the President | Missed votes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 117th Congress (2021–2022) | Senate NE | Republican | 93% | Trump: –; Biden: 21% | 6% |
| 116th Congress (2019–2020) | Senate NE | Republican | 99% | Trump: 95% | 3% |
| 115th Congress (2017–2018) | Senate NE | Republican | 99% | Obama: –; Trump: 97% | 1% |
| 114th Congress (2015–2016) | Senate NE | Republican | 95% | Obama: 47% | 1% |
Where they broke ranks, 117th Congress
Votes where they went against most of their party on a vote that split the parties (47), or against the position President Trump / Biden took publicly before the vote (251).
