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 | 98% (157 of 160) | 99% (305 of 306) | 5% (19 of 421) |
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.
