Time in office

Every stretch of service in Congress, from the congress-legislators records. Vote counts on this site begin in 2013, so service before then has dates but no scores.

Office	Seat	Party	From	To	Congresses
U.S. Senate, Maryland	MD	Democrat	Jan. 4, 2007	Jan. 3, 2025	110th–118th
U.S. House, Maryland	MD-03	Democrat	Jan. 6, 1987	Jan. 3, 2007	100th–109th

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)	118th, 117th	99% (602 of 604)	99% (1,282 of 1,286)	2% (28 of 1,638)
Donald J. Trump (2017–2021)	117th, 116th, 115th	40% (206 of 514)	95% (708 of 746)	2% (20 of 1,293)
Barack Obama (2009–2017)	115th, 114th, 113th	97% (310 of 321)	99% (773 of 780)	0.3% (3 of 1,187)

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
118th Congress (2023–2024)	Senate MD	Democrat	99%	Biden: 99%	3%
117th Congress (2021–2022)	Senate MD	Democrat	99%	Trump: –; Biden: 100%	1%
116th Congress (2019–2020)	Senate MD	Democrat	94%	Trump: 41%	2%
115th Congress (2017–2018)	Senate MD	Democrat	97%	Obama: –; Trump: 39%	0.8%
